Judge in Spain Issues Arrest Warrants for US Soldiers

I hope Congress and the Supreme Court is paying attention to this article about a Spanish judge who recently ordered arrest warrants for three US soldiers who fired on a hotel during the Iraq War, which resulted in the death of a Spanish reporter.

Congress needs to pay heed because it shows the havoc that would be wreaked on US servicemen (and politicians) if we were ever to join the International Criminal Court that the Left in our country so badly wants to adopt.

The Supreme Court should remember this instance to understand how politics often drives international law the next time it looks to foreign law to decide its own cases. Otherwise Ginsberg, Breyer & Co. might just decide to try all of our US soldiers after they fight overseas.
