Alberto Gonzales, current Attorney General & George Tenet, former director of the CIA are also for the dock.

Al Jazeera.Net is reporting that under Germany's universal jurisdiction law, an investigation and "ultimately, a criminal prosecution" is being requested by a group of American lawyers representing Guantanamo Bay detailees.

The Centre for Constitutional Rights who are bringing the complaint on behalf of 11 Iraqi citizens imprisoned in Abu Ghraib prison and 1 Guantanamo detainee accuse the US of torture and indefinite detention.
