Well it looks like Tommy Franks may have to carry the can for crimes committed
by his troops. Read on:
Let's hear it for Belgium

On several occasions, US troops appear to have opened fire on unarmed
civilians. In Nassiriya, they shot at any vehicle that approached their
positions. In one night alone they killed 12 civilians. On a bridge on the
outskirts of Baghdad they shot 15 in two days. Last month, US troops fired on
peaceful demonstrators in Mosul, killing seven, and in Falluja, killing 13 and
injuring 75. All these actions appear to offend the fourth convention.

Needless to say the charges can't be brought to the ICC as niether the USA or
Iraq have signed up [the only others who did not sign were: China, Israel,
Libya, Qatar & Yemen].
