What the guy did was wrong, disgusting, and he deserves time behind bars & worse. But how can the US, or any country for that matter, apply laws to it's citizens abroad? That makes no sense. If a person goes to another country and murders someone, that offence is punished by another countries courts, not ours. Let the Jew rot, but I am confused how jurisdiction works that way.
If that is the case, shouldn't military/government personal whom torture others abroad be punished as if they did it on our own land? Personnel of Guantanamo should be held accountable, right? It's illegal for a citizen to leave the country with the intent to violate our laws elsewhere? Wouldn't that extend to someone who goes to Columbia and snorts coke? Or if they go to Mexico and fuck a prostitute?
Again, fuck that child raping POS, but what right does the government have to police it's citizens abroad?

No. Unless they're a resident, extradition on charges in home country happens. Unless it does, if there's some sort of political motivation things can go either way.

Tiring subhuman terrorists is bad.
Try again. Also Guantanamo was instituted by the US on a US military base, thus internationally recognized as US soil.
is illegal in the United States for citizens to travel abroad for the purpose of having sex with minors
Also that's how. He broker US law, he wasn't caught in the Philippines for breaking their laws, so nothing about extradition even matters or country of origin .
So you're saying if an American goes to Canada and commits murder, they extradite them to the states to face justice? I've never heard that before.
Not necessarily, but they can. It's how Assange is being treated, Kim Dotcom etc. Many others but I don't have these things memorized. Small crimes aren't "worth" it and normal people aren't worth it either. Think about the news on illegals (spics), they're often attempted to be sent back and not incarcerated here but jew judges and NGOs prevent that from happening so they get released or sent to jail here.
