U.S. to Penalize War Crimes Investigators Looking Into American Troops

[Jason]

The International Criminal Court has collected evidence of what it says is torture, rape and other crimes by American forces during the war in Afghanistan.

International investigators looking into charges of war crimes by Americans in Afghanistan will face economic penalties and travel restrictions, the Trump administration warned on Thursday, accusing a Hague-based court of corruption and maintaining that the United States can prosecute its own military and intelligence personnel.

Just because we have the power to investigate & penalize within our own system & borders does NOT remove those outside of the U.S. to not do their very best to seek out the truth. Doing so while now facing such injustices will not only further embolden those wishing to stand firm against any and all injustices done but also further the divide between the U.S. and the rest of the world.

The best part is we already have the Hague Invasion Act, so it's not like they could actually DO anything with their findings.

I hope they don't re-investigate Edward Gallagher. He was an American hero who did now wrong. Sad he had to retire!
