Germany’s federal prosecutor has rejected calls to investigate allegations that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was guilty of war crimes over the Iraq prisoner abuse scandal. The Center for Constitutional Rights and four Iraqis who say they were abused by American soldiers at the Abu Ghraib prison filed the criminal complaint in Germany in November. The case was filed under a 2002 German law allowing for the prosecution of human rights abuses and war crimes regardless of the where they occur.
