interesting...first that the suit was not filed in the international war crimes tribunal, the authority of which the americans do not recognize--because the administration imagines that any prosecution of americans for war crimes would necessarily be "unfair"....second in that it poses the problem of national sovereingty with reference to bodies of international law that the neocons hoped to short circuit by the entire iraq adventure.
the enforcement measure would also be interesting, if the case comes to that--it would require a bit of research for me to have a coherent opinion on the matter.
i imagine you will see folk from the right shrieking about this, once it makes its way into the right media apparatus and thereby provides them with a pre-structured starting point for "thinking"....
