Of course, by reciprocity, other countries have broad powers to detain US citicizens indefinitely.

So what's new?

[Doctor Stochastic]

What's new? Now the US cannot claim that it's not reciprocity. Nor can we complain that people are held without charge, bail, access to lawyers, etc. Of course, the State Department now has less work to do; they can just let US citizens stay in jail if the jailing country claims it's important.
