IT'S NOT A CRIME UNLESS WE SAY IT IS:

US drone raids could land CIA officers in court: expert (AFP, March 24, 2010)

The US government's refusal to offer a legal rationale for using unmanned drones to kill suspected militants in Pakistan could result in CIA officers facing prosecution for war crimes in foreign courts, a legal expert has told lawmakers.

"Prominent voices in the international legal community" were increasingly impatient with Washington's silence on the CIA's bombing raids in Pakistan and elsewhere, Kenneth Anderson, a law professor at American University, told a congressional panel on Tuesday.

Let''s see if we can think of something less intimidating than an impatient transnationalist...how about a Marshmallow Peep?
