I just want to emphasize again what I think the long-term effect of these actions will be:
Within the month, the EU and Amnesty International will bring up the issue of the International Criminal Court again, specifically linked with the most credible evidence they can prove of mis-deeds by US Soldiers in Iraq. They'll insist that the US sign on by arguing that the US Military covered up or minimized sentences, and that the ICC is designed for and would only be used to prosecute actions like these.
And if we fall for it (the domestic movement to sign led, no doubt, by leftists and Democrats), it will be a disaster for the United States Military and the U.S. Constitution.
God help us.
