Maybe Glenn Beck wasn’t wrong in advising his nephew to not re-enlist. Obama isn’t exactly batting 1000 here – Little Rock Recruiting office shooting,mirandizing of detainees in Afghanistan, Fort Hood attack, SEAL team prosecution, dithering over Afghanistan troop increase,Gitmo detainees out of military tribunals and into NYC Courts, and now this!

From the WSJ Online – Prosecuting American ‘War Crimes’

The International Criminal Court claims jurisdiction over U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.
By DANIEL SCHWAMMENTHAL

The Hague

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed “great regret” in August that the U.S. is not a signatory to the International Criminal Court (ICC). This has fueled speculation that the Obama administration may reverse another Bush policy and sign up for what could lead to the trial of Americans for war crimes in The Hague.

The ICC’s chief prosecutor, though, has no intention of waiting for Washington to submit to the court’s authority. Luis Moreno Ocampo says he already has jurisdiction—at least with respect to Afghanistan.

Uncle Jimbo at Blackfive has more to say – Accusations of abuse against our troops & the ICC

I have a bad feeling that we are going to be seeing a lot of folks claiming that our forces have roughed them up. First of all it is right in the al Qaeda training manual. They are told to start whining early and often that they were tortured or otherwise abused. We saw last week that the guys scarfed up by our SEALs complained about a fat lip. Did it happen? Did he do it to himself? We don’t know, but we know they are taught to make the claim. Today we read that two Afghans are claiming they were “tortured” in the Spec Ops holding facility at Bagram Air Base in AStan.

Wonder if this ICC prosecutor has bothered to check out Al-Queda’s very own torture manual?

Each drawing in the manual is more horrific than the last!
