DR.
JOHN ANDREW MORROW: Like the European governments, who feel that
prosecuting returning terrorist fighters is “impractical” and
“difficult,” the American administration argues that the International
Human Rights Tribunal does not have jurisdiction over Syria and Iraq.
Ironically, the US administration has no qualms about jurisdiction when
they attack, bomb, invade, and occupy sovereign nations.
Through
statements from government officials, policy recommendations from
think-tanks, as well as reports from a number of sources close to the
White House, it was US policy, under Obama, not to arrest and prosecute
ISIS fighters returning to the United States, but to attempt to
“reintegrate” them into US society, thus putting all Americans at risk.
