Do you remember how certain someone's on the left criticized President Bush for his refusal to subjugate the U.S. to the International Criminal Court? At the time, the feeling in Washington was that it could be used as a tool for politically targeted prosecutions. That would never happen, we were told.

Well, golly gee look what's happening to the Brits, whose government did ratify the ICC. As Spoons points out, British troops may face "war crimes" for some of the collateral damage in Iraq.
