I'd say the chance of that is zero. The USA pulled out of a world-court system for armed forces war crimes years ago. The Bush Administration strongly believes in prosecuting our own troops within the military justice system.
Giving the guilty ones long sentences will send a clear message to troops that this behavior won't be tolerated. Let's hope for many long sentences for the guilty.
