Rumsfeld Targeted For War Crimes

The Secretary of Defense has been sued by prisoners illegally held in violation of the laws of war.

This is the first step to prosecuting the Secretary of Defense for war crimes. The punishment for failing to enforce Geneva can include the death penalty.

The illegally detained, innocent, non-charged civilians held in Afghanistan, have challenged the illegal Military Commissions Bill, and are asking the court recognize the privilege of writ of habeas corpus.

The burden of proof rests with the United States and the Secretary of Defense to justify why they have denied innocent people their rights. Rumsfeld, legally responsibile for enforcing the DoD 5100.77 laws of war program, allegedly knew or failed to enforce the laws of war.

It is clearly established that attorneys, judicial officers, and prosecutors who fail to enforce the Geneva Conventions may be lawfully executed as war criminals by an international war crimes tribunal.

Allegedly complicit in the illegal detentions is the DoD General Counsel Haynes who also knew, or should have known the laws of war; and that the prisoner detentions were not consistent with Geneva.

Reportedly, the Vice President's chief of staff knew of the illegal Geneva violations, but refused to stop the war crimes, absurdly arging that to change the poilcy would be an admission of wrongdoing. The illegal abuses continued.

Allegedly individual Members of Congress, National Security Council, DoJ Staff, and others in the executive branch have engaged in an illegal course of conduct to violate the laws of war.

It is too late for Congress to invoke any claim that anyone may be denied the right to have their detention challenged. This restriction should have been imposed in 2001, however the court in Rasul has already affirmed the right of prisoners to challenge their detention.

The US Constitution and Geneva Conventions apply wherever the United States detains people. It does not matter whether the US prisoners are located in secret locations in Europe or in Afghanistan. All DoJ Staff claims that the Geneva protections do not apply are not consistent with Hamdan. The Supreme Court affirmed the responsibility of the United States to comply with all Geneva requirements.

The failure of any court to recognize this privilege, and the prisoners Geneva Convention rights, is a war crime. It will be interesting to see how quickly/slowly this request is reviewed; and to what extent foreign fighters use their illegal detention as a basis to continue their attacks against the incompetent Americans.

State Authority To Asssert Military Power Against War Criminals

The States, when the US Congress defies the Constitution, have the legal authority to assert their power, use all lawful force to protect the Constitution. Congress and the DoJ Staff may not credibly argue that the alleged Geneva violations are required; or that the Congress's illegal acts are Supreme.

Case law clearly establishes that any party may lawfully assert their oath, protect the Constitution, so long as that assertion of power does not take away the lawful power of any other party.

Allegedly, the President of the United States and Attorney General have failed to enforce the law, not provided to Congress an explanation for their failure to enforce 5 USC 3331, the oath of office applicable to all Members of Congress. The States may lawfully assert any and all powers to check the Congress which is in rebellion; and has illegally passed unlawful bill of attainders, expose facto, and has failed to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.

Congress has illegally asserted Article III judicial powers and unlawfully denied the courts from reviewing matters We the People have expressly delegated to the Courts. Congress has no power to interfere with ongoing litigation, nor may it retroactively make rules in 2006 affecting prisoners who were illegally detained prior to 2006. [ Sample precedents ]
