<We don't really need an exemption...>

If our soldiers are on somebody else's soil, they do.

Of course, since Iraq is (and still will be, after June 30) a de facto American colony, none of our torturers or murderers in Iraq need to worry about ever facing a war crimes trial. But if they ever visited a nation that has the courage to challenge the American principle of MightMakesRight, they could be arrested and handed over to the ICC.

The ICC will have jurisdiction over crimes committed by the nationals of governments that ratify the treaty, or in the territories of governments that ratify. It can try any individual responsible for such crimes, regardless of his or her civilian or military status or official position.
