| Has he? I've seen a handful of soldiers tried and convicted in German court. Though I admit that was under a different Commander -in-Chief. What I think you are talking about is Government refusal to extradite Government employees accused of committing criminal acts in the host nation on behalf of the U.S. Government. Which makes it a whole different ball-game, and the potential subject of a whole lot of debate. Criminal acts committed by private citizens in a host nation are routinely prosecuted by the host nation. Mr. Hicks was not an agent of the Australian Government at the time of his capture, he was a private citizen who (allegedly) wanted to be a terrorist. The Wikipedia article on him is full of bias from both sides, (I'm on a real kick about biased reporting these days) but it does hit the all the highlights in one place. |
