VERY important! The International Court cannot be used if the accused can be tried in their own countries. One should think the USA capable of trying its own criminals.

Or The Hague. “… the Military Commissions Act, a law passed by Congress earlier this year [2006], effectively blocks prosecution in the U.S. of those involved in detention and interrogation abuses of foreigners held abroad in American custody going to back to Sept. 11, 2001.”
