We have extradition treaties of long standing with many countries. If we have now decided that we can independently capture, hold, and torture any country's citizens on our whim alone, then are we preparing to violate those treaties?

We have military treaties with the same countries. Does our default on the extradition treaties imperil our military treaties? Will the people of other countries stand for this? Already the governments of Spain and Italy have changed leaders, moving from right to left, and Tony Blair's British government may do it in the spring. If we implement our detention policies, will our bases still be welcome?

Other countries that are democratically ruled may not like to have their citizens snatched willy-nilly.
