Bush Selectively Praises German Law

Bush, in his speech in Belgium today, said, "German authorities recently arrested two terrorists plotting to attack American interests in Iraq. Both will be prosecuted under new German laws enacted after September 11."

No mention of Germany's Code of Crimes Against International Law, in effect since July, 2002, under which Donald Rumsfeld could be prosecuted as a war criminal, however. It could also be applied to Bush, something which, while inconceivable to him now, may someday soon come to weigh very heavily upon his mind. Given the drumbeats toward war with Iran, one wonders just how much unjustified aggression against sovereign nations is required under the German code.

I wonder if the hacks and whores of the American press who aided and abetted are subject to the code as well.
