Quote:1. It should be dealt with by the US court system, if the Military Courts can't handle the matter. Soldiers do not give up their status as citizen by donning a uniform. There is ample provision in US Law to prosecute any American in Uniform who commits a crime, and for that matter, any out of uniform who does so. The ICC kangaroo court lacks valid checks and balances that our court system is bound to.

2. War crimes trials are typically "the justice of the victor" and nothing more. To pretend they are fair or just, rather than window dressing in vengeance by lawyer, rather than by lynch mob, strikes me comedy gold. Milosevic and Saddam clearly demonstrate the farcical nature of these so called courts.

Ah, but what about those instances where the people at the very top order the military to undertake something that would be considered a War Crime and the people at the very top can effectively stone wall being brought to Justice or can claim exceptional circumstances to get around internal law. What do you do then in order to bring about justice? We've already seen the checks and balances be thrown about by using Executive Orders and other powers available. Who then is to bring about justice in those instances Occhi?
