A French court has thrown out torture charges against Donald Rumsfeld, not for lack of evidence or believes he is innocent, but because it has ruled that he enjoys "customary immunity" due to his former position. Even if the concept exists in French law, and there is some question that it does, it explicitly does not exist in international law especially as regards crimes against humanity. We can only hope that someday, somewhere Rummie will get his comeuppance, although with his enablers Captain Codpiece and "I'm a Big" Dick Cheney.
