The International Criminal Court: Did They Pick the Right 1st Case?

Transnational Law Blog has a great piece about the ICC and Lubanga case which I mentioned on 11/04 ("Congolese Warlord Case to Begin Next Week"). There has been debate over whether or not this case should have been the 1st for the ICC and the Transnational article opines that it is a good first case. It also discusses the opposition of the US to the ICC, which I personally feel is ridiculous. If the US really fears the ICC, what does that say about the kinds of things we are doing around the world? Also, the belief that the ICC will just start trying Americans at will is false, as the ICC is a last resort court. I really hope to see the US take the lead in supporting the prosecution of war crimes and crimes against humanity. That obviously means we will have to clean up our act as relates to the "war on terror." This can no longer be used as an excuse to break customary international law.
