GONZALES ADDED TO WAR CRIMES COMPLAINT IN GERMANY
Gonni {as in gone is Liberty} Gonzales can't attend Munich fest this yr and Rummy can't go to big shot conference or face arrest..
Germany teaching amerika bout human rights..

"CCR filed new documents on January 31, 2005, with the German Federal Prosecutor looking into war crimes charges against high-ranking U.S. officials including Donald Rumsfeld: one includes new evidence that the Fay investigation into Abu Ghraib protected Administration officials – it is a comprehensive and shocking opinion by Scott Horton, an expert on international law and the Chair of the International Law Committee of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. The second is a letter that details how Attorney General nominee Alberto Gonzales’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee confirms his role as complicit in the torture and abuse of detainees in Abu Ghraib and elsewhere in Iraq.

CCR Vice President Peter Weiss said Gonzales’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee “demonstrates his involvement in setting policy where torture and inhumane treatment was authorized at the highest levels of the Bush Administration.” Weiss pointed to Gonzales’s claim that the prohibition on cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment does not protect aliens in U.S. custody overseas, stating “this makes clear that Gonzales and the Bush Administration continue to believe that non-citizens held outside the U.S. can be treated inhumanely.” "

2. But, but, but Gonzales easily won Senate confirmation which begs the ques-
tion as what does that say of Senators who voted to confirm him as AG should these theses have merit?
