TIME magazine just posted this. 2004 war crimes charges previously filed in courts by former Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo inmates, are now being re-filed in light of Rumsfeld's firing. Previously the two largest hurdles were the possible "immunity" of Rumsfeld due to his high ranking US government job, and the US promise that he was being investigated for his role in the torture of prisoners. Since both of those arguments are now moot, the top German prosecutors have once again been asked to file criminal charges against Rumsfeld and others. I think this is one of the main reasons why Rummy's henchman Stephen Cambone retired yesterday.
