*cough* You have to be a ratified party to the Rome Statute for the ICC to assert jurisdiction, and even if the U.S. were to hypothetically become a signatory sometime in the future (which it won't, not even under Obama), it can't assert jurisdiction retroactively anyway *cough*Originally posted by Oerdin
On the up side it makes it easier for the international criminal court to try them. The ICC can only go after someone if their home country refuses or can't. We'll Bush and the Republicans made sure we can't in the US so go ICC.Last edited by Darius871; November 8, 2008, 15:33.Comment

The guy who was "leaked" by unnamed White House officials to be the scapegoat for the supposedly sure-to-exist ("we know where they are", Dick Cheney said) Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction.
The guy who was "leaked" by unnamed White House officials to be the scapegoat for revenging to Valerie Plame by revealing her identity while she was an undercover agent for the CIA.
They'll both also probably get some sort of medals for what they've done, a few days before Bush steps down.Comment

I think that even Bushy would see it a bit embarassing to be evcited from the white house by the local sheriff for trespassing.
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

What, a Bush supporter?“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Alternatively since the immunity from prosecution deal was retroactive maybe removing the retroactive part of it might fly? After all it was illegal in the US at the time that it occurred and it wasn't an official pardon but instead and act of Congress so maybe a new act of Congress could remove the immunity from prosecution.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment
