Christian Science Monitor: Torture Lawsuit against Rumsfeld Moves Ahead
Aug 10, 2011 @ 18:28

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Latest-News-Wires/2011/0810/Rumsfeld-torture-lawsuit-moves-forward





"A lawsuit accusing former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld of personal responsibility for U.S.forces allegedly torturing two American whistleblowers who worked for an Iraqi contracting firm will be allowed to move forward, a federal appeals court ruled Monday.


"The ruling from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals inChicago comes just days after a similar decision by a federal judge in Washington that gave the green light to an Army veteran — who also alleges he was tortured in Iraq — to sue Rumsfeld for damages.


Monday's ruling rejected arguments that Rumsfeld should be immune from such lawsuits for work performed as a Cabinet secretary."


Excellent!
