El Baradei: War Crimes Trial at ICC [New]
“I was aghast at what I was witnessing,” ElBaradei writes of the official U.S. attitude before the March 2003 invasion, which he calls “aggression where there was no imminent threat,” a war in which he accepts estimates that hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians were killed.
In such a case, he suggests, the World Court should be asked to rule on whether the war was illegal. And, if so, “should not the International Criminal Court investigate whether this constitutes a `war crime’ and determine who is accountable?”
More excerpts from his new book The Age of Deception, here.

Hear, hear. More of this, please. If you or I can be tossed in jail if we kill someone, surely politicians like Bush and Obama must be held to the same standard. Actions should have consequences.
