"Rumsfeld must be feeling how Saddam Hussein felt when U.S. forces were hunting him down,"

Maybe the French will hang him and the video will be broadcast on the Internet.

Rummy is the test case for war criminals, (Bush , Cheney and Rice) travelling abroad. Now Bush, Cheney and Rice, know what we know: War criminals will not be allowed free reign in a civilized world!

The article does not say that France finally decided to arrest or prosecute Rumsfeld. It just says that Rumsfeld left for an undisclosed location and speculates as to his motivation for doing so. Maybe Cheney is in his undisclosed location planning Bush's World War III and Rumsfeld got a last minute invitation to join in the fun. . . .

In the end, this is about as threatening to Rumsfeld as the alleged attempt to capture bin Laden in Tora Bora. If the French authorities wanted to haul him in they would not have delayed doing so while they sat in their offices, allegedly trying to determine if Rumsfeld was in the country. (On the other hand, if they really did not know that Rumsfeld was in their country, what are the odds they could ever catch him even if they truly wanted to?)

This is just another sorry hoax to tease those who still believe there is some sort of law and justice at work in these matters, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.

This is a warning to Bushies and neocons- they will not be safe anywhere because of their crimes. Too bad the US justice system is MIA: it's become "scooter-commuterized".

Bad times in the US. Which countries will now take the lead, now that 21st Century Rome has fallen to the dogs?

Not to worry, Rumsfeld will soon go back to the good ole U S of A and take up a lucrative, cushy post at the Hoover Institution, and when Condosleezza leaves office she'll join him at Stanford where they can pontificate, shop and commiserate about how the ungrateful the Amurkan people are for their defense of freedom. Maybe when the new, ironically named Bush Freedom Institute is designed by Bob Stern--maybe he can look to Auschwitz for inspiration--they can all set up shop there. I hear it will be located next to the Josef Mengele Hospital, the Fritz Haber Institute of Chemistry, the Thomas Midgely, Jr, Institute of Environmental Sciences and the Alberto Gonzales School of Human Rights Law. Should be quite a neighborhood!

Other countries throughout the world should follow France's example. Maybe Rummy can be held "hostage" in the USA so he can't spread havoc around the globe. It might negatively impact his ability to earn money, too. A global "house" arrest would serve him right. Gee, perhaps that would be the best way to serve up justice for W, Cheney, Condi, etc. since we know our Congress won't hold anyone accountable.

Did any of you America, (or President Bush, Vice-President Cheney and Don Rumsfeld), haters even bother to check if this information came from a reputable source? Never mind.. I know the answer to that.

Just because the leftists &/or European socialists wish for great ill to befall Mr. Rumsfeld, doesn't mean it will happen.

God bless Donald Rumsfeld.

This ought to be the first move in an ongoing campaign against Bush, Blair, Howard and their cohorts. The campaign must continue until each meet their death. Let them never have a moment where they can believe that they are safe.
Have them jump at every creaking door, worry constantly whether or not they can trust the people guarding them.
If there is ever to be a belief and trust in international justice, we have to get these people.

inner circle are being given the attention they so richly deserve. Every one of these bastards; Bush, Cheney, Rice, Wolfowitz, Feith, and Rumsfeld should all be hunted down like the criminals they are, and brought before an international tribunal for their crimes against humanity. Hopefully, everytime they set foot outside the US, they are pursued until they're brought to justice. Bush and Cheney in particular should spend their retirement years in Pelican Bay's solitary confinement or some equally unpleasant place chosen by The Hague.

If Rumsfeld thought whatever he did was legal, why would he run? He knows he broke the law and he knows what he did was immoral, wrong, and against the American Constitution. I hope, if he never gets convicted of his war crimes, he has to run and hide for the rest of his miserable life. And the same to the rest of the Bush Administration. They are the real terrorists and war criminals. I hope they are all tried and punished for their crimes. To think our hard earned money goes to protecting these slobs makes me sick...what a waste of resources - just another Bush Bungle we all have to live with. IMPEACH BUSH/CHENEY/RICE.

I am so tired of this God Bless B.S.. It is people like that who have made our country what it is today. Aren't you proud?
What ever happened to the Constitution? & Separation of Church & State?
& Freedom of Religion, for everyone else?
When is simple logic, humanitarianism, empathy, or any heartfelt desire to understand others ever going to part of narrow-minded existance?
I was in Tennesse for a time in the early 80's and a sign on a church there said it all.
" A bigot is a person who's not himself on Sundays ".
I had no idea at the time of it's implications today in America.
When those in power commit crimes against humanity, globally, for monetary gain, & destroy the American dream for it's own people, I say God has nothing to do with it!

YAh, and those "U.S. Embassy officials" that sped him off, are they not guilty too for aiding and abetting?

And did you all hear that the state Department said over the week end that "they" were going to let Blackwater murderers of Iraqi civilians of the hook, making them unaccountable?

Yup, Accountability of the whole of the cohorts in war crimes by the Bush Fascists is showing itself to be very deep.
(it's no wonder why congress won't iniate impeachment proceedings. Better than half are probably guilty too!)

How many of you wrote or called your congressmen/ senators to Support Senator Dodd's bill to not give ammunity to communications companies that consorted with Bush administrations illegal wire tapping / evesdropping?

If you haven't.....better get it on. We the American People are in a War for Truth on the home front.

Don't care if the story is true. The point is: It should be true and would make me very happy if it were.
The so-called fanatics you mention in Europe are like-minded with a majority of the world!
But I'm sure that is much too dificult for you to grasp.
Maybe you should travel more?
No American on this sight hates America. how rediculous is that! We just see, as do a majority of the rest of world, what the American government has become & that reflects badly & sadly on us, who used be respected as a fair & just nation of people.

Donald Rumsfeld CEO 1977-85 G.D. Searle & Co., got new President Reagan to prohibit FDA opposition to aspartame 1981.01.25, history by lawyer James S. Turner: Murray 2007.10.29
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aspartameNM/message/1483

In 1977, when Rumsfeld was CEO of the Searle corporation, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was reportedly reluctant to legalize aspartame (NutraSweet) because of adverse effects on animals in testing.

On January 25, 1981, (shortly after President Reagan took office), the previous FDA commissioner's authority was suspended, and the next month, the commissioner's job went to Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes Jr MD, a medical doctor and professor of pharmacy. In July, Hayes approved aspartame for dry foods, overturning the decision of the FDA special Board of Inquiry.

Searle has often been criticized for unusual largesse toward members of the medical profession in the interest of promoting its drugs.

Now if we can just get everyone to boycott any organization or business that has Rums-fled, Chain-y, et.al as consultants, speakers or employees... maybe they will end up on the streets with a wet spot and a paper bag.
I love day dreaming!

Dear All . . .

Please, say it ain't so. I was elated when I saw the charges filed against former Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld. This wondrous event coincided with the doubt about Michael B. Mukasey. There was talk, perchance the Democrats would not be duped or bow down to Bush as they have done before. The word went out nominee, Judge Michael Mukasey would not be approved.

I had hope. I dreamt the impossible could, perhaps would occur in my life time. Now, as I read this report, I fear I must again resign myself to the fact that the Bush Cheney reign lives on. Never will the Administration be held accountable.

I invite your thoughts on what I might have been . . .or will be some day soon?

Unless de facto corporate Fascist stooge criminals Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Cheney, GW Bush, Philip Zelikow, Condoleezza Rice, Dov Zakim, etc, etc, are held to account for a blood money "war on terror" fraud they and their cozy oligarch masters will do more damage.

In case there's any doubt... that future damage will be measured in uncounted lives lost and in hundreds of billions of dollars extorted from a public too naive to know that democracy has already been stolen with all the rest.

Hey, Donald. I hope you run like hell until you fall flat on your face after what your ideas done to Iraq. You better run all day and run all night just like Dr. Richard Kimble; but your plight isn't a TV series, pal. Feel your heart race as you scream for oxygen as the sweat glistens down your weatherbeaten face. Your heart is working very hard to stay one step ahead of your pursuers. YOU do not know who they are. Every face you see is a threat to your very existence. You are a fugitive of your own making. You represent the worst in the male species.
Time to ditch the clean white shirt and tie. And it's too late to lose the excess weight you needed to throw to your opponents.
You will reap what you've sown, your dangerous thoughts has wrecked havoc in the Middle East and you can't escape that.
In short, you have nowhere to go. Europe condemns you; your GOP inner circle has turned you out; you're a man who will always be on the run. That is called fate.
