    Its not my wet dream scenario at all - if high officials know they may be called to account either in office or after, if their travel is restricted, if they are embarrassed in office, that is good. It might make them think twice about actions which may be against international law. It might make them pay more attention to public and international opinion.

    That's important with a government like the Bush Administration which acts like it thinks it can do whatever it damn well likes with no consequences. The other side of the coin is even if it just keeps a person like Rumsfeld out of your country that is not a bad outcome in itself. Many would argue that is a very good outcome.

      We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham Lincoln

        I believe I already made a posting on that subject asking the same question. Though it is amusing to see AH continue to make mountains of cases that really are legal molehills destined to go no where.

        For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

          Rumsfeld and his legal advisers clearly don't agree with you.
