There is no omission and you are not using the correct words.

Are you implying that if a US offical does something which would be a crime in the US, but isn't in their host country they will be immune to any legal procedures?

So the US has not established itself as "leader" of the coalition or that in doing so it should be immune to criticism? (smacks of Special Pleading to me). You are really mistaken if you think I have an anti-American bias.

It's too long for someone who's innocent for sure. Hopefully the judicial review element will prevent abuses of that possibilty. The 60 days the police were asking for was totally over the top though. Graham |
