MagiK, shysters can't sue at the ICC -- at least not those who aren't government shysters.
It is not "curious" that the US doesn't want to sign the ICC. Like the Convention on Climate Change, the one on Human Rights, and others our government wants to do it its own way and no other. Some approve of this, some disapprove (like yours truly), but it is the trend.
Side note: If other countries didn't come clamouring to us for aid, this would be a non-issue. In effect the article whines that the US is threatening to end its bribe. Well, that's exactly what bribes are for -- to make someone do what you want them to. Quid pro quo.
(Hmm... wonder if I just stumbled upon the origin of the slang "quid" for British pounds? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] )
