In order to be in compliance with the ICC we would have had to change the US Constitution to allow a force of international cops to override the first and fourth amendments. At any time the ICC feels it has the right and ability to detain and search and arrest US citizens in the US and take them back to Belgium or where-have-you where they can be tried and jailed. And eight months ago they wanted to try Tommy Franks for war crimes.

Fuck that kind of noise, we like the system we already have.
