Supreme Court Ends Torture Lawsuit Against Donald Rumsfeld



Huffington Post

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from two American whistleblowers who claim U.S. forces tortured them in Iraq and who want to sue former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

The justices’ action Monday leaves in place a federal appeals court ruling that found Rumsfeld cannot be held liable for actions taken by subordinates that may have crossed legal bounds.

The two men are Donald Vance and Nathan Ertel, who say they were detained and tortured after they accused an Iraqi-owned company for which they worked of illegally running guns. They argued Rumsfeld personally approved interrogation methods for use by the U.S. military in Iraq, making him responsible for what happened to them during several weeks they were held in military camps.

    1. Before you /we hang rhumsfeld we all need our own personal crack at that F`er. How about a Pinyata – hope my spellin is right – line dance so we all could crack that F`er till we are tired of crackin` that POS before we hang him.

      1. P.S. The head should be off limits when the line dancer/pinyata people are dancing so we all can whack that F`er along with all of them other ones that need to be the Pinyata waiting to get whacked. Actually we all should be carying stun guns, and pepper spray, and of course those line danceing base ball bats to use on rhumsfeld and all of his politicion comradess. Baseball bats are cheap and easy to use. Pinyata anyone?

        1. I don’t condone torture….a round between the eyes is sufficient. That clears your schedule to deal with the rest of the traitors.
          Hi NSA…lol

          1. tammyc. That is personal with me when it comes to them pos. I want my own person whack or two with those like rhumsfeld and any of them other bastards. They owe me a few and I want to figure out how and when to take out what they owe me for what they do and did that I have personally experienced first hand.

  1. It really should come as no surprise to any of us that they would find this traitorous pig not guilty of any thing.The only way any thing will ever be corrected will be the way it was corrected the first time this country came about.The traitors that are in charge have no intent on changing things for the better ,only taking the remaining few freedoms that we still have.These BASTARDS need to pay for their crimes and I mean every single one of them! The ones at the state and local level need to pay too as they are the ones that keep it all going!
