Retired war criminal Donald Rumsfeld is launching a gaming app. I'm excited for us all. Donald Rumsfeld: I'm 83, feeling healthy, not in prison. I certainly deserve all this. A tech product is a bit like launching illegal wars, just with more yoga. You start by scaring up operating cash with outlandish and vague promises. Donald Rumsfeld: So many people will love this, it will pay for itself! As things don't pan out, pivot to a new strategy shrouded in impenetrable buzzwords and supreme confidence. Donald Rumsfeld: We're a platform for engagement of known unknowns... And we're six months from victory! Before it's too late, pawn the whole thing off to a new administration, declare victory and hit the Ted Talk circuit. Donald Rumsfeld: Can I borrow someone from the audience to waterboard?
Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and their legal advisers Alberto Gonzales, David Addington, William Haynes, Jay Bybee and John Yoo were tried in absentia in Malaysia.The trial held in Kuala Lumpur heard harrowing witness accounts from victims of torture who suffered at the hands of US soldiers and contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan.At the end of the week-long hearing, the five-panel tribunal unanimously delivered guilty verdicts against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and their key legal advisers who were all convicted as war criminals for torture and cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment.This was done in your name by this man who is free to go make software or whatever else he pleases as he was not killed in a meaningless war or tortured for no reason.
