Donald Rumsfeld Must be Indicted over Iraq Militias

By Richard Norton-Taylor

If there were any lingering doubts about whether the former US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, should be indicted before a criminal court, evidence that he asked a veteran of American dirty wars in central America to help set up vicious sectarian militias in Iraq should end them once and for all.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article34206.htm



MA Prosecutor Lets Rumsfeld Walk, Charges Protester Instead

It turns out that Rumsfeld not only knew about the worst of the worst abuses of the Bush Torture Era, including what was happening at Guantanamo, in Afghanistan, and at Abu Ghraib. He perhaps even ordered it.
