It's no fair that the most strident UFO believers all have severe mental
problems.

Rumsfeld Warns Belgium Over Human Rights Lawsuits

Defense Secretary calls lawsuits against U.S. officials "absurd"

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld warned Belgium June 12 that the United
States would hold up money to build a new NATO headquarters complex in
Brussels and might restrict travel by senior U.S. military and civilian
officials to NATO meetings unless Belgium changes its law permitting
spurious claims of human rights violations to be brought against U.S.
officials.

"It's perfectly possible to meet elsewhere, but what will happen, I just
don't know. All I'm doing is stating the problem." Rumsfeld said during a
briefing at NATO headquarters. NATO defense ministers held two days of
meetings in Brussels to discuss the transformation of NATO's military
forces, command and control structures, and strategic doctrine. The
54-year-old security alliance is planning to spend approximately $351
million to build and open a new headquarters by the end of the current
decade.

Rumsfeld's response to Belgium's law covering universal human rights

crimes

comes after lawsuits have been filed in Belgian courts charging Vice
President Dick Cheney, Army General Tommy Franks, Secretary of State Colin
Powell, former Army General Norman Schwarzkopf, former President George
Bush, and U.S. Marine Colonel Brian McCoy with human rights crimes.

"By passing this law, Belgium has turned its legal system into a platform
for divisive politicized lawsuits against her NATO allies," Rumsfeld said.
"The suits are absurd."

"The United States rejects the presumed authority of Belgian courts to try
General Franks, [Marine] Colonel McCoy, Vice President Cheney, Secretary
Powell and General Schwarzkopf, as well as former President Bush."

Rumsfeld charged that "if the civilian and military leaders of member

states

can not come to Belgium without fear of harassment by Belgian courts
entertaining spurious charges by politicized prosecutors, then it calls

into

question Belgium's attitude about its responsibilities as a host nation

for

NATO and Allied forces."

Rumsfeld also discussed continued combat operations in Iraq, the ongoing
search for Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, a Spanish decision to send

its

troops to the Polish sector of Iraq, and the overall political health of

the

NATO alliance.
