Wolfgang Schäuble
Wolfgang Schäuble, MdB (born September 18, 1942) is a German politician. He is a member of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). He presently is Minister of the Interior of the Government of Germany.

From 1984 to 1989 he held the position of the Minister for Special Tasks and served as the head of the Chancellery. From 1989 to 1991 he was Minister of the Interior in Helmut Kohl's Cabinet. Between 1991 and 2000, he was chairman of the CDU/CSU faction in the parliament, and from 1998 to 2000 also CDU party chairman. Since November 2005, he has been serving a second term as Minister of the Interior in Angela Merkel's government.

In March 2007, Schäuble declared in an interview that the application of presumption of innocence should not be relevant for the authorization of counter-terrorist operations.[1]

Later the same year (2007), Schäuble proposed the introduction of legislation that would allow the German Federal Government to carry out preventive assassinations of what Schäuble labels terrorist suspects, as well as outlawing the use of the Internet and cell phones for people suspected of being terrorist sympathizers.
