Saw that in Drudge early this am. Still laughing about it.

Didn't see it in the paper. Did Dan Rather report this?

I see the link dropped the story at 6:30am. Here's the text to
telegraph.co.uk.

AMERICA is said to be trying to cripple the proposed International Criminal Court, designed to bring tyrants such as Saddam Hussein to justice,.
President Clinton is to meet Chancellor Schr”der in Berlin today to seek his support for changes to the court's procedures which could hobble the new body.

Plans for a tribunal with the power to try war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity were approved in Rome two years ago. It would be modelled on courts that hear cases on the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda.

But America has opposed its creation, fearing US forces might be indicted as war criminals for acts such as the bombing of Serbia.
