"The Bush administration, I think, is extremely fearful that the court could tie the hands of the United States in the execution of its foreign policy... to such an extent that policy makers would have to be extremely concerned about whether any particular decision to use military force would end up with US officials being charged before the international criminal court."

which is to say that the u.s. military would have to consider whether or not its actions are war crimes before taking them. i should hope so.

u.s. justice system declares u.s. justice department unjust: "Federal prosecutors intend to challenge a ruling declaring it unconstitutional to detain material witnesses for a grand jury proceeding."
