Yes they can.  War Crimes are deemed as an international offence\n\nhttp://www.un.org/icty/

All states extradite.  They don't want criminals running to their state to avoid prosecution.

In that novella, the Nazi had personally been involved in the interrogation and murder of dozens of Jews.  It was his acts, and his anti-Semitism, that impelled the kid, his Apt Pupil, to hate his Jewish girlfriend and ultimately, to open up on cars on the freeway with his deer rifle.  \nIn answer to your direct question, no, having served in the German Army is not reason to bar someone from immigrating to the US.  Lying about it or not disclosing it on the citizenship application is illegal and can earn that person a one way trip back to Germany.  It was that fate that the Nazi could not accept, because he knew he would be facing life in prison there, so he killed himself.  It was a very compelling story, as are so many of Stephen King's books.

Donald Rumsfeld is an American citizen and has committed no crime in Germany, therefore he cannot be tried in Germany. The garbage the Germans are putting out is just that GARBAGE. If Donald Rumsfeld had in fact committed a war crime, and he did not, he would be tried in the Hague.

guntmphys238 has ALMOST the right of it.  \n\nAny non-judicial PUNISHMENT stays with the military.  Any Courts Martial conviction will follow you.\n\nHOWEVER, if you were charged by the Military Police, you have a "Police" record that is accessible by civilian law enforcement.  ANY charge under the UCMJ is a federal offense, and that is considered a felony.

Yes. However, inland only.\nIf the person went abroad, the counting of the limitation on murder would be postponed.

Extradition is discussed in several state laws. You can search here to find what you are looking for: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html

Friend, I think you need an attorney. I am a private citizen who had read the papers for many years. My understanding of the laws of most nations is that asylum may be granted if the is objective proof that upon returning to a person's homeland, the person would be murdered , imprisoned or otherwise persecuted.By all means, find an attorney. If you have legitimate reason to fear for you life of those of family members, you probably have a case.

No.  Just as you cannot prosecute someone for doing something that was legal at the time the act was committed but no longer legal, you cannot exonerate someone for breaking what was a law at the time the criminal act was committed.  Look at it this way, it's not what they did that was wrong, it was that they disobeyed what was written as law.

Federal law requires the states to extradite criminals unless the criminal can show good cause for why the state should not do so and unless the state is conducting their own trial already.

Any true patriot should not be shielding a war criminal.\n\nBush admitted to violating the federal war crimes statute (18 USC 2441). The Supreme Court confirmed it. Just because he's gotten Congress to retroactively wipe the slate clean doesn't mean he didn't break the laws as they were at the time.\n\nAny true patriot should be demanding that our elected officials obey our own laws. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be happening.

If the acts were unconstitutional they would be overturned by the Supreme Court.  The Court has already ruled that certain rights of prisoners of war must be considered.

I think you might of misunderstood.  I have never heard of a country deporting it's own citizens. Not recently, anyway.  England deported a bunch of it's prisoners and they formed what is now modern day Australia.  But that was a while back.  \n\nI am curious to find out if you are right though.  I can't imagine another country would accept them.\n\nAnd if they are deported to the US that doesn't make sense.  That would be like giving someone a bag of apples to punish them for stealing apples.

And you get the same answer as you got when you asked this question yesterday.\n\nBecause you have not requested extradition.\n\nIf they have committed a crime - present our courts with the evidence, otherwise you can stop whining.

I agree with the second guy. There is no way to charge Bush with a war crime (and I believe that crimes against humanity is a war crime) because of some international legal bullsh'it. I can't remember how it goes since it gets a little complicated, but bottom line, it can't be filed.\n\nGermany's going in the right direction though. They filed criminal charges against Rumsfeld but can't try him. All this is to create a precedent against Bush and his cronies. Good job, Germany.

It's sort of true. If you are a declared terrorist you no longer have Habeus Corpus. The military is allowed to hold you without trial as long as they wish (which isn't a good thing, even if you are truly a terrorist, besides if they are truly a terrorist, the courts would find you guilty anyway). Many people balk at the possibility that anyone could be declared as a terrorist and having their due process rights taken away.\n\nEDIT: Also because of the policies at Guantanamo Bay etc., the  US currently has one of the WORST human rights (in regard to 1st world countries) records according to Amnesty International. I put the link below.
