That's all a fancy way of saying "good lawyers will use twisted semantics of law to get our criminals off the hook".
But it still doesn't solve the problem of American citizens not feeling safe abroad. The world believes there is a case for criminality, since we tried people at Nueremberg for the same types of crimes...suddenly our war criminals have a justified cause...as long as it was trying to grab a resource like oil..
No, the rest of the world is fuming mad (and if they "aren't", they're actually scared s-less that they'll get caught up in the prosecution too...eh T. Blair? ) at the Bushco group and American citizens will not be safe, nor welcomed, respected nor loved abroad as long as we let this wee little group of A-holes off the hook and harbor them here. So millions will suffer and some may die for Bushco's "right" to abuse the laws of the World Court and for lying to Congress about WOMDs..the Downing Street Memo and so forth.. Not in my universe..
The Hague is gearing up for proceedings regardless of Congress and the new administration's lack of testicles when it comes to keeping its house in order.
And how can foreign governments lend us credit we so badly need to recover if we show them via our inaction and passive assent that we agree with what Bushco did to the Middle East and to our own Congress..and at Gitmo? It would be like having a whipped wife of domestic violence coming in for a loan so she can go to the store and buy her husband more whiskey, to get drunk on, and beat her some more. Do we really believe foreign countries are stupid enough to lend to a nation controlled by mindless, shortsided thugs like Bushco?
No.
So, for American safety abroad, our very reputation, to escape being held by the world as "guilty also by passive assent", and for our economy, we have no other choice but to join with the Hague's proceedings against Bushco. I almost fell off my chair last night watching an interview on Keith Olberman's show where they were actually seriously discussing if Americans would welcome the Hague's inquiries and investigation into Bushco's culpability. 
I thought, "throw a stone and see if you cannot hit someone who would pay good money to see Cheney, Bush and the gang wearing orange and peering from behind bars.."
Were they serious?
You'll see nothing but how "americans don't want Bushco prosecuted"...blah blah blah blah...on every media outlet they can still control, or coerce...but do a poll of the average Joe and you'll find that if they discover we'd be harboring fugitives and making americans less safe by enraging the World further against us... you'd find like an 80% approval rating for prosecution instead of harboring fugitives..
