This week's ruling could now result in a wave of lawsuits against foreign officials.

Key word . . . lawsuits.

LOL. I'm thinking this article may not have been written very well, since it appears that the author is blurring the distinction between the two.

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure it's damned near impossible for a U.S. prosecutor to bring criminal charges against someone for an alleged crime that occurred in a foreign country and involved an accused foreign perpetrator and foreign victims.

Heck -- the U.S. doesn't even prosecute cases involving alleged Nazi war criminals. That "Ivan the Terrible" guy in Ohio, for example, was only subject to deportation from the U.S., not a criminal trial here.

Oh they will just add a charge or two...the name Noriega comes to mind...

Lets nt forget rachal corry of the assclown just killed on the flotilla....a ‘so-called” american citizen...

yeah...I have no doubt the jew haters will worm a way to do it with this ruling..

I’ll also remind you that interpol now has immunity as well....they are even helping Hamas track down the isreali patriots who off a terrorist.

They could simply swoop in and snag whomever they want...
