That sounds like the kind of company a regime that goes in for torture should expect to keep. Of course they could say the same.

Just because it can be made to sound cute doesn't mean it's not torture. Dripping water on the head sounds mild enough doesn't it?

Regardless of whether America subscribed to the international criminal court America or not shouldn't make any difference. It is the duty of the American court system to war crimes and deal with them, which would mean the ICC wouldn't be involved. (Even in such cases as Lieut Calley, serving just a few months house arrest as the fall guy for the My Lai massacre.)
