A grand jury should indeed convene on this issue. That said, it'll never happen - too big of a political shitstorm as well as fear from political types in the anti-terror camp that they too could be exposed to criminal prosecution in the future should they get the reins of power.

That said, the International Criminal Court should jump all over it, though a verdict would be moot. At least it would be an attempt to shame the shameless.
