According to unconfirmed reports coming from Paris France, fired/retired U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, under cover of the US embassy escaped France today, a fugitive, fearing for his arrest and perhaps criminal prosecution regarding charges of "ordering and authorizing" the torture of detainees at both American-run Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and the U.S. military's detainment center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, After human rights groups filed a criminal complaint against President George W. Bush's "war on terror" Czar/stooge for several years, U.S. embassy officials covertly tucked D. Rumsfeld away yesterday after a breakfast meeting in Paris given by the Foreign Policy magazine. Perhaps they might be charged with Obstructing Justice? Why not? Under international law, law enforcement officials in France are required to begin investigations if a complaint is made whenever the alleged torturer is on French soil. Activists in France, angrily de-greeted Rumsfeld, with shouts of "war criminal" and "murderer" at the above cited breakfast meeting. The U.S. embassy officials were uncooperative about the former defense secretary's whereabouts claiming "security reasons." Everything with these folks is either "national security" or "security reasons." Let's require now that his ex-boss goes to France, maybe they can swear out a warrant for the USA's version of Adolph Hitler. Those justice seeking, human rights activist, anti-torture, protesters, in France are convinced that they ran the criminal out of Dodge City and he stumbled onto his donkey hightailing it for the border to Germany. He likes German because there are so many icons still extant of the idol of his group of Neo-cons, the man GW Bush's grandfather lent millions to for building factories which made the weapons that killed tens of millions, including many French and US troops. The money also assisted or cleared other funds to ultimately construct torture and death camps similar to those his grandson, in the low tradition of war criminals would build 80 years later. That idol of which I speak was known as Der Fuhrer and his presently living US imitator and co-workers, underlings and others, would like to see themselves held in such Shock and Awe terms, with slaves all atremble at their feet. Prescott Bush and his partner allegedly profited from that war just as the present Bush family is profiting through their company, the Carlyle Group's $15 billions in profits since this war began, at a rate of 34.7% profit each year. Most legitimate US Corporations are lucky to profit, if at all, at a rate of 2.5%-3.4% annually. Aside from the old Mafia, Carlyle Group has the highest profit average of which I have ever heard. Of course, it is far easier to profit if your son hires most of the contractors and pays them as No-Bid contractors (meaning there is no-competition for the contracts.). Ethics say that the No-bid contract is a criminal enterprise made famous by the Mafia and Adolph Hitler, and should be outlawed under penalty of death. You see similar charges, a war crimes case against Rumsfeld, were constructed in Germany, but their federal court dismissed the charges against Herr Rumsfeld (anyone with an ounce of maturity would stop calling him "Rummy," which is a an anomaly, a cuddly term of endearment which mischaracterizes what people of prophetic sensibilities see as a vicious monster)-. The why of the dismissal has not been forthcoming and I am too fatigued with that bastard's visage and name, to go looking for it. He was not satisfied with defecating all over the reputation of the State, Illinois, my state, where many are so greedy and bigoted that they actually elected Rumsfeld to public office, he had to have diarrhea all over the Constitution and Bill of Rights of our nation as well. Nonetheless, some activists have pointed out that under the Schengen agreement, which ended border checkpoints across most of the European Union, French law enforcement agents, may if they choose to, ignore the border into Germany and pursue escaping criminals. One activist said with apparent glee, "Rumsfeld must be feeling how Saddam Hussein felt when U.S. forces were hunting him down" He added, said, "He may never end up being hanged like his old friend, but he must learn that in the civilized world, war crime doesn't pay." Many believe, however, both here and wherever men and women of justice prevail, that brutal and evil people should be put out of the misery by lifetime separation from decent people of society. Others feel he ought to should hung by his heels, until he repents, or at least until his shoes fall off. The French League for Human Rights (LDH), the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR,) International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), all filed the complaint on Thursday when they discovered that the alleged war criminal Rumsfeld was to visit Paris last week. "The Blood of the murdered cries out from the ground to me, and therefore justice must be served."
