Response from ICC prosecutor re: war crimes trials for *
A couple of weeks ago, David Swanson posted the address of the ICC prosecutor in an open letter that cited proof of * war crimes. I also wrote to the prosecutor urging criminal trials for * and his administration. I just got a response from his office that my request was duly entered into their system for consideration and that they would contact me when they reached a decision.

Perhaps David could repost that email address and more of us could do the same so that they know there is a desire in this country for justice.

1. The US is not a member of the ICC.
They do not have jurisdiction since we did not join the ICC.

2. I understand that
But, this is an acknowledgement that they're reading letters and are putting them into the record. We don't know at this moment in time what the future result might be, even if it's by a circuitous route. I just think we should make sure no one later says that we citizens of the US didn't speak up about criminal activity when it was occurring.
