Ernie,
I also understand the implications of what this may mean to some American who gets in trouble in a foreign land where the term 'fair trial' could well be a joke.
Not could be, IS!. It would be nice if all countries would agree to treat other countries criminals the same and that I what we are starting to do. I too hate the diplomatic immunity crap. If you commit a crime in any country then I feel you should be subject to that countries laws. If that means being put to death than so be it. Don't commit the crime to start with. Treat the criminals that come here the same way as those countries treat our people who go there and one of two things should happen. One, there will be less crime committed by foreign visitors, or two there will be less foreign visitors. They should not get a free pass.
