Strange days indeed

A US-based civil rights organization has brought a war crimes charge against Donald Rumsfeld in Germany, causing him to cancel a planned February trip to a security meeting in Munich.

The organisation alleges violations of German legislation which outlaws war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide independent of the place of crime or origin of the accused.
. . .
The organization said it had turned to German prosecutors "as a court of last resort" because the US government "is unwilling to open an independent investigation" and had "refused to join the International Criminal Court".

Many aspects of this strike me as bizarre yet apt...
