If the exact same situation occurs with a Texan who rapes and murders a 16 yr old girl in Holland, Sweden, Indonesia, Peru, etc. they have the right to apply their justice. Technicalities that defy common sense should be considered as such.

And if a Texan doesn't do that, but is accused and convicted anyway, then I guess it'll be perfectly ok when he can get no help from the US, thanks to his own state's actions.

Will it still be vapid international bs then? Or does the vapidity of international law depend on whether you happen to approve or disapprove of the accused?
