Most of the prisoners in the Abu prison were caught in a dragnet and
at most were petty criminals and not terrorists. Most were
shopkeepers or cab drivers and the sadistic and sexually perverse
photos even cleaned up by the newspapers by digitally blocking the
beaten and bandaged faces of Iraqi corpses of men who had been beaten
to death - The American Medical Association called a conference to
outline guidelines for all medical personnel's responsibility when
faced with giving medical aid to prisoners so that they could
continue being tortured. This torture and sexually perverse
humiliation did not gain any substantial information and the
Administration sanctioned torture is going on now in Iraq and Gitmo
and other countries where Iraqis not charged with any crime have been
taken.

Germany has broad powers to try ANY COUNTRY that commits torture, War
Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity and is preparing a case against
Rumsfeld to hold not the soldiers but the highest level of
requirement that our young men and women in the military were thrown
into this cesspool and the real perpetrators in this never
elected "Adminstration" MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

if people visit the CCR web site at ccr-ny.org, they will in a few
hours find a letter they can send directly to the German
prosecutor urging the German prosecutor to begin a serious
investigation.


MICHAEL RATNER: What they have actually done in Canada is say that
because Bush is president, he can't actually be
prosecuted right now in Canada until he's out of office, but that he
should be barred from entering Canada because alleged
war criminals, people who violate humanitarian law, cannot come into
Canada and he should be barred from coming into

Canada and it is true, their law is very clear on that, and if the
Canadians have any guts, that's what they'll do. But
unfortunately, although the world knows that this country, the United
States, is now harboring torturers at the highest level,

so far we haven't seen people stand up. I want to say one more word
about the German case. We're going to need support
all over the world to make sure that prosecutor really does an
investigation. If people visit the CCR web site at ccr-ny.org,

they will in a few hours find a letter they can send directly to the
German prosecutor urging the German prosecutor to begin
a serious investigation. But really we are facing a moment that's a
very bad moment on terms of what the U.S. is doing but a
very good moment in that lawyers and other activists all over the
world are really pursuing these tortures to the end of the
earth. We called them in our legal jargon, enemies of all humankind
who can be brought to justice wherever found. And that
is what we have to do.
