That administration engaged in torture of foreign nationals.

Quote:
Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and their legal advisers Alberto Gonzales, David Addington, William Haynes, Jay Bybee and John Yoo were tried in absentia in Malaysia...At the end of the week-long hearing, the five-panel tribunal unanimously delivered guilty verdicts against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and their key legal advisors who were all convicted as war criminals for torture and cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment.

Sadly they're unlikely to face justice.

Effectively.

But I figure with enough of a bounty someone might risk it and dump Putin or Cheney in the middle of The Hague wearing nothing but a few dozen rolls of gorilla tape and an anxious expression.

Thanks for your replies people. I think the ICC is trying to justify their existence.

hmmm has somebody told Xi Jinping?

It would seem the world's biggest economic powerhouse (China) don't seem to share our outrage (I wonder why)

Again there's a double standard. There are national leaders who qualify to join Putin to be indicted in Africa, the middle east and Asia. But their victims aren't as important as Ukrainians.
