Your example is a good pick: Iran did go into a "third country", an embassy, captured 53 innocent guys and held them for 444 days.

And nothing happened to Iran! (Wasn't there some treaty on diplomats somewhere?)

but something did happen in America:

Your people voted for another guy. Not a grower. A cowboy. The Ayatollahs went shouting aya aya, got shit scared and, on they day he swore to protect your Constitution, they put their "spy prisoners on an outbound plane good bye.

It is worth noticing that my Muslim friends are only scared of US cowboys.

What I was refering to, is that as treaties could not taken into account a 9-11 scenario, they are not effective afterwards, thus they are void on that specific subject of detention, and even the Geneva convention is inoperative.

Imagine that some Guantanamo prisoners tell your officers that one guy is the chief of the North American Bio Ops, know every sleeping cell from San Diego to Anchorage and that they heard that the first attack will start in the city coldest city because the germs just love the climate.

What are your guys going to do, read him his Geneva rights over again ?
