> Would you have the Army turn those people over to the Iraqis? 

Remember way, way, way back in 2001, when we refused to sign the International Criminal Court treaty? This is /exactly/ what the International Criminal Court is for: prosecution of war crimes. If we had done the right thing then and signed the treaty, we could do the right thing now: turn our soldiers over to be tried for war crimes.

And if we ever find out that it goes higher on the chain of command -- say, to Donald Rumsfeld -- /they/ should be prosecuted for war crimes, too. You can't simply get away with this sort of thing because you're an American.
