Rumsfeld sued?

Rumsfeld has been known for his hard-line approach to problems. Yet, now German lawyers have tried to sue Rumsfeld before in 2004 but then it was blocked by the Justice Department, now that Rumsfeld has lost his political position the lawyers try again hoping that the loss of his position lost weakened the political pressure that he would be able to exert. Further the lawyers add that they have new and more evidence then they had in 2004, then recently a ex-General Janis Karpinski explains that Rumsfeld allowed the tourcher of prisoners in Abu-Ghraib-Prisons in Iraq.
Further the Arab-press was celebrating the removal of Rumsfeld.
