And they would be tried under US law. It's unethical (meaning, could result in sanctions or disbarment) for a prosecutor to prosecute something he or she knows can't or shouldn't result in a conviction.
International law may well be different...but the United States Justice Department would be prosecuting American citizens who did something that the United States Justice Department said was OK. Aside from the facial absurdity of that, the Justice Department is limited to American law.
/cue the chorus of "Well, drag them to The Hague and let them hang there"
