His brother Bruce is not exactly beloved in Park Slope, but Michael Ratner will certainly earn brownie points this week after calling for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to be prosecuted for war crimes.
Ratner’s group, the Center for Constitutional Rights, filed a criminal complaint in Germany against Rumsfeld, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and former CIA Director George Tenet on behalf of 12 Iraqis and Saudis who had been allegedly abused at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay by their American captors.
“There has to be some accountability for Donald Rumsfeld,” Ratner told Bloomberg News.
Funny, that’s what many Brooklynites are saying about his brother.
