The State Department could request the process be sped up considering the likelihood that data would be scrubbed.

Custody issues, so no locals. And, yes, the US Army and others do operate overseas, in case you missed the whole muslim jihadi thingy.
How many times have you read of some Spec Op guy saying that the public will never know about 99.9% of our missions. What do you think that means? Where so you imagine those missions are conducted? On Mars?
