Judge in Spain orders 3 GIs arrested
Why the US wants no part of the International Criminal Court, no part of Kyoto, and no foreign law influence on our legal system.
http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/world/3404601 MADRID, SPAIN - A judge has issued an international arrest warrant for three U.S. soldiers whose tank fired on a Baghdad hotel during the Iraq war, killing a Spanish journalist and a Ukrainian cameraman, a court official said Wednesday. glenmore |

so youre saying the US soldiers should face no criminal actions for any misdeeds in a war situation? even firing on a hotle full of civilians and killing three of them?
how about rape? murder? human rights abuses?

Spain has to be able to extradite the 3 GI's to Spain. Good luck on that. No US Court, except maybe the 9th Circuit, would ever allow that.

The point is a foreign court expressing jurisdiction over US citizens. The US military and the US government is responsible for punishing war crimes commited by its soldiers. Background here where Belgium tried the same thing and backed down when Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld threatened to remove NATO headquarters from Brussels. http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/War_Crimes_Law_(Belgium) glenmore |

poorly worded riposte. if the soldeirs comitted a crime in any country, that country has jurisdiction over them. period. so, just like that kid who was keying cars in singapore was sentenced to be caned, these soldiers are subject to the laws of that land.
