CHICAGO (AP) -- A federal judge refused Friday to dismiss a civil lawsuit accusing former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld of responsibility for the alleged torture by U.S. forces of two Americans who worked for an Iraqi contracting firm.

U.S. District Judge Wayne R. Andersen's ruling did not say the two contractors had proven any of their claims. But it did say they had alleged enough specific mistreatment to warrant hearing evidence of exactly what happened.

Andersen said his decision "represents a recognition that federal officials may not strip citizens of well settled constitutional protections against mistreatment simply because they are located in a tumultuous foreign setting."

It won't be pursued. You can count on it. People in high places get away with too much in our country.

No way in hell

Better odds of a trial if Cheney had gotten sucked off by Jeff Gannon than this ever unfolding ...


If Americans only knew the long list of Dems and Republics that are involved
they might have a difft view on how little one can trust anything the ol USA govt cranks out

Well, this court action keeps conspiracy nuts and "wannabe" Socialist revolutionaries busy and out of the way until the adults dismiss the case. I suppose then, that it does serve some useful function.

it's a civil lawsuit not a criminal case and there's a reason for that. the burden of proof is much lower in a civil case. look for the court system to stop this suit, not justice.
