A nation that works that hard to exempt itself from war crimes trials is planning war crimes. Rumsfeld has obviously been chosen to be the cutout to save Congress and Bush from the effects of the torture scandal. But the claim that Rumsfeld did not inform Congress or Bush is a total lie, because prior to the war it was official US policy to exempt itself from possible war crimes prosecutions. This means that the US Government KNEW it would be committing war crimes and was already taking steps to minimize the repercussions. A policy requiring such wide-ranging legal and political efforts could not exist without the full knowledge of the US Congress and the President. Rumsfeld's scapegoating is just election-year cowering.
