BILL OF WRONGS? You know,

BILL OF WRONGS?

You know, I'd feel a lot more confidence in Steven Den Beste's assertions that the U.S. government opposes the ICC because it's unconstitutional (as opposed to, say, out of concern for Henry Kissinger's sorry ass, which would be the explanation I would have suggested) if the government hadn't first also broken, to date and by my count, four of the rights in the Bill of Rights in its secret arrest, indefinite detention without prospect of charge, denial of legal assistance and lack of any actual criminal act in the first place in the case of one Jose Padilla, U.S. citizen. Having suspended the 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th Amendments themselves in Padilla's case makes the Bushies' putting said parts of the Bill of Rights ahead of the laudable goal of prosecuting international monsters of state somewhat... questionable, I'd say.
