Pierre-Richard Prosper, the United States ambassador for war crimes issues, said the ICC had no jurisdiction over this war, because neither America nor Iraq had signed up to the treaty establishing the court. Funny how it works for the big guys...

Send 'em to Gitmo, try them in front of a military tribunal, feed their remains to the sharks.
I lost all patience when I heard about them murdering our POWs.

Thank God Bush understands the dangers of the ICC. Even if he had done nothing else, torpedoing that and the Kyoto Treaty would be enough to set his presidency apart from his predecessors.

This is crap.
Any trials should be judged by a tribunal of Iraqi's and members of the coalition of the willing.
And to hell with the U.N.!
Those who endured the unchecked hatred and wrath of Saddam, and those nations who risked the lives of their soldiers, and supported the cause when they had nothing to risk, deserve to decide such things.
No one else.

After reading this article, I need to get one of those double-wide Rummy podiums.

...senior Pentagon and State Department officials summoned reporters to hear a pre-emptive rejection of any role for the International Criminal Court (ICC) - the permanent war crimes tribunal established in The Hague. Oh, good, good, GOOD... I was hoping for this, in an earlier posting.
Once again, Bush has met my expectations, standing up to "World Opinion"... (Scurry off, you damn rodents!)
