Could also add that Canada is now a country (similar to some in Europe) which can now put on trial foreigners and charge them with war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide…Oh, and, of course, use secret, anonymous witnesses to bring about a prosecution…

From the Globe and Mail:

“Canada was among the nations that drafted a 1998 statute that established the International Criminal Court and spelled out the concept of “universal jurisdiction” - the legal principle that allows countries to prosecute crimes against humanity that take place outside their borders. Canada’s 2000 war crimes legislation followed suit.”

I hope and pray the United States will never, ever go down this route.
