Pirate's Cove

This is a new wrinkle:

A former Special Forces soldier accused of beating
an Afghan detainee who later died said federal courts don’t have
jurisdiction in his case since he was working outside of the United
States.
    
Lawyers for David Passaro contend that provisions
of the U.S. Patriot Act that stretched authority to prosecute cases
shouldn’t apply any places where special operations forces and CIA
paramilitary operatives work.

Ok. Let’s let him be tried under Afghanistan Law. See how he likes that. From what I have been able to find, the penalty is still death, without all the lengthy appeals that he would get in the United States.
