The United States, under former President Bill Clinton, was one of 135 nations that signed the treaty, but the Bush administration rescinded the signature. We don't really need an exemption if we didn't sign and ratify the treaty.

At some point, the world will have had enough of this double standard. Uh-huh. And the ICC is busy charging China and the Sudan for their offenses, which are just a tad more serious than the US's humiliating a few prisoners? The deaths in the Sudan are in the millions now. But of course, we know who would, and would never appear in the dock of the ICC could they have their will. And it has nothing at all to do with anybody behaves. Aside from the teensy-weensy issue that if the US would have to rip up the Constitution to join the ICC. Article III and the Bill of Rights are nowhere to be found in the Rome ruling.
