I heard the President say that the interceptions made were not made in this country. Can we hold anyone liable for breaking our law in another country?Is there any jurisdiction? I also have a question concerning the difference between normal lawbreakers and enemy agents. Lawbreakers IN our country are afforded civil rights while enemy agents are not protected by our Constitution but rather by the rules of war set forth in the Geneva Convention , Right?

Not sure about your first premise. The stories I have read and seen on the tube say the intercepts were from calls in/out of this country to outside the country "by people with known ties to terrorists". Enemy agents or enemy combatants are subject to GC rules and the reason they are kept at Gitmo and other places is to keep them out of the country and access to courts. Almost all POW camps during WW2 in North America were in Canada for the same reason. The enemy agents must be dealt with soon and in Military Courts in my opinion.
