Germany's federal prosecutor announced she will not be proceeding with an investigation against former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, former CIA Director George Tenet, and other high-ranking U.S. officials for torture and other war crimes committed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantánamo, according to a press release obtained by RAW STORY.
CCR president Michael Ratner told the Associated Press in a telephone call from New York, "If Germany is not willing to enforce their law we think other countries will be — we're not going to leave a stone unturned."
"It took 35 years to get (former Chilean dictator Gen. Augusto) Pinochet and it won't take that long with the Rumsfeld case," Ratner added. "I think everyone recognizes that high-level U.S. officials ran a torture program around the world."

Yup. But, Rummy is not out of the woods with other crimes.
