If agents of the American government break the laws in a foreign country, especially one with a long standing democratic tradition and open court system, should they be held liable for their actions? Should the US have faith in the court systems of these countries and allow them to have a free and fair trial? Or should the US presume to be the ultimate authority and shield these agents from the laws of democratic, allied states?
It would seem that the US government has no faith in the democratic institutions of its allies and will not permit the accused to be extradited to stand trial.
Why? Why? Why? Are these the actions of a free state with respect for law and its fellow free and democratic nations?
I say it is not and it is a disgrace. (And completely predictable.)
