Colombia, U.S. Sign War Crimes Accord
Colombia and the United States signed an accord that exempts Americans in the South American nation from prosecution before the new U.N. international war crimes court, the president's office here said.

Wednesday's agreement frees up military aid suspended in early July after Colombia failed to provide adequate guarantees that U.S. officials would not be handed over to the Brussels-based court.

1. We might as well join the Holocaust deniers
and say that it never happened! This is the same moral standard that the US has adopted from the Holocaust deniers: America's war crimes and human rights abuses never happened!

3. Instead of actual payouts, they with hold funds
A new way to bribe people, or blackmail them? We report, you decide.
