    So I'd trust you'd have no problem with the US making it legal for CIA agents to sneak into Norway and capture alleged terrorists? Think of it as making it legal to break into terrorist havens and bring terrorists to justice.

    Or a Swiss law making it legal for them to go into Germany and kidnap the thief in order to take him back to Switzerland and throw him in jail.

    Oh, and of course your views would make for a decidedly unfriendly attitude between some nations, and likely violate international law and all concepts of sovereignty. I guess diplomacy is overrated.

    I also suppose you won't complain about Gitmo anymore.

It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder

    Yes, because torture and fines are the same thing.

    Oh wait.

    But do I support Israel and Mossad's right to arrest and extradite former nazi's or suspected terrorists hiding in countries unwilling to arrest them? Yes. No question. Do I support them when they screw up and kill innocent people like Lillehammer or Gitmo? No. That's why I like that separation of powers thingy, I would not mind the US arresting suspected terrorists abroad IF they were given a fair trial instead of being sent to a torture camp like Gitmo(or worse) without being found guilty.

    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
