- caferrell, on 04/08/2008, -1/+1@pedro9, they can“t pardon themselves from an International court. Ask Augusto Pinochet or Milosevic

"Hah, now that I've made myself rich through war crimes, I'll head off to Mexico and live like a god! Oh, wait... some formerly gay pundit on MSNBC said I'd better stay in the country and wait to get indicted... damnit! My brilliant scheme ruined!" - MercedRocks, on 04/08/2008, -14/+6Yawn. War crimes? How about REAL WAR CRIMINALS like Mugabe of Zimbabwe, the Sudanese Regime, Kim Jung il of North Korea, the Chinese Premier, Vladamir Putin of Russia (Chechnya). Or the nutjobs behind the Rwandan nightmares of the late 1990's.

- bobzibub, on 04/08/2008, -0/+1In the U.K., it would likely occur.
Here, no way. - Enron1985, on 04/08/2008, -0/+0People who are stupid enough to believe that could actually happen are a threat to national security.
- morpheus69, on 04/08/2008, -0/+1The biggest war criminal of all is an obscure lawyer named John Yoo who wrote the infamous "torture memo" providing legal justification for the Bush administration to authorize the use of torture. Mr. Yoo's "justification" is that when the president "acts as commander in chief" he is not subject to the Constitution, the laws of Congress or judicial review. Basically, he's a dictator.
So, what's Mr. Yoo doing now? The good taxpayers of California pay his salary and his generous expense account to teach the next generation of lawyers about how worthless the Constitution is and how the president is above the law.
In my opinion, John Yoo is a war criminal. His tenure at Berkeley should be revoked and he should be disbarred.
