And there is part of the problem: What recourse would we have if they DID put someone in front of the ICC who we determined didn't deserve it?

This is of course the core of why we won't submit to the ICC. Those conducting trials are not accountable to those under it's jurisdiction.

Maybe you don't think this is a problem, but we fought a war to achieve just such a thing.
