Rumsfeld doesn't like to be in German jail

Shocking! This story hasn't been picked up by any major American news outlet so far:

The New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights filed a complaint in December with the Federal German Prosecutor's Office against U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld accusing him of war crimes and torture in connection with detainee abuses at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison. Rumsfeld had made it known immediately after the complaint was filed that he would not attend the Munich conference in February unless Germany quashed the legal action. The organisation alleges violations of German legislation which outlaws war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide independent of the place of crime or origin of the accused. The prosecutor's office in Karlsruhe reportedly is examining the roughly 170-page complaint to see if an investigation is warranted. (...) The organization said it had turned to German prosecutors "as a court of last resort" because the U.S. government "is unwilling to open an independent investigation" and had "refused to join the International Criminal Court".

According to Google News, six news outlets have reported about this complaint, among others Al Jazeera and Deutsche Welle. Again: not a single U.S. news organisation. Surprised? No.
Update: United Press International reports that the legal action is the second slap for Rummy from the land of his ancestors; in February 2003, just before the outbreak of the Iraqi conflict Rumsfeld's anti-war relatives in north Germany, the Rumsfelds of Weyhe-Sudweyhe disowned him.
