If ICC followed Colin Powell's doctrine of "if you break it, you own it (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/george-mitrovich/if-you-break-it-you-own-i_b_5545765.html)" and precedence of Nazi trials for assigning responsibility through chains of commands, could US Tax-payers Funded (USTF) neocons be charged with genocide for breaking/stirring up bloody civil wars in mideast from Libya to Syria and beyond? Or disgraced (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?433586-Majority-of-Americans-now-believe-Obama-is-quot-dishonest-and-untrustworthy) dronegansta's puppet masters are immune from war crimes charges under some freedom clause?


Up to 700 feared dead after migrant boat sinks off Libya
Italy finds 28 of the 700 migrants lost at sea after boat capsized; if true disaster would one of worst seen during decades-long migrant crisis in southern Mediterranean.

Reuters, AP Published: 04.19.15
As many as 700 people are feared dead after a boat carrying migrants capsized off the Libyan coast overnight, in one of the worst disasters seen in the Mediterranean migrant crisis, officials said on Sunday.
Twenty eight people were rescued in the incident, which happened in an area just off Libyan waters, south of the southern Italian island of Lampedusa, an Italian coast guard official said.
The lawless state of Libya following the toppling of former leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 has left criminal gangs of migrant smugglers a free hand to send a stream of boats carrying desperate migrants from Africa and the Middle East.
