<Mark is rolling!> Off-track, as usual. <A German federal prosecutor was investigating a war crimes complaint against the US Defence Secretary and, although it seems unlikely even the silliest showboating Europoseurs would have been foolish enough to pull a Pinochet on him, Rumsfeld made a point of not setting foot on German soil until Berlin put an end to that nonsense. That tells you more about transatlantic relations than anything in the speech.> Yes, indeed, Attorney General Mr. Nehm generalbundesanwalt.de investigated the case - he was obligated to do it due to a formal complaint filed on behalf of the US "Center for Constitutional Rights", New York. ccr-ny.org Mr. Nehm closed the case as outlined in the following press release: Keine deutschen Ermittlungen wegen der angezeigten Vorfälle von Abu Ghraib/Irak generalbundesanwalt.de <Try to imagine significant numbers of French, German or Belgian troops fighting alongside American forces anywhere the Yanks are likely to find themselves in the next decade or so: it's not going to happen.> ISAF's biggest contributor in Afghanistan is - Germany. Sorry, couldn't resist to tune in on the eve of Bush's Mainz visit.
