How do US courts legally have jurisdiction over crimes committed abroad? This type of precedent will allow for terrorists at Club Gitmo to be tried here.

All pedophiles should get the death penalty. All of them.

I know we’re broke, but since we’ll go broke anyway, this borrowed is money well spent.

A Homeland Security Department function is looking for child abusers in Cambodia? How does this relate to the security of the United States? What am I missing here?

I'm all for the ultimate punishment for pedophiles, BUT...

Why exactly are US Immigration & Customs Enforcement agents protecting children in Cambodia and not protecting children in the U.S. from the foreign pedophiles running wild in the country they were hired to protect?

It always starts with something that everyone agrees with... in this case, monster predators that need to die.

But don't worry...

Soon, they will follow you everywhere and enforce US Law on you and especially deprive you of your money.

The Police State is just ramping up and needs to have a good reason to put their jackboots on your neck even when you're outside of the country.

From the article: “If a US citizen is caught abusing children abroad, American agents are now on hand with the specific aim of getting the suspect on a plane to stand trial back in the US.”

From the Bill of Rights, Amendment VI (emphasis added): "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence."

How do they reconcile what they are doing with the Eighth Amendment?

This is the worst sort of moral posturing, by a so-called journalist.

The story does not describe sex tourism. The story described pedophiles.

A “sex tourist” might be someone visiting girly bars in any of a hundred cities around the world. Big deal.

Someone having sex with 12 year olds, is not a sex tourist. He is a pedophile, and a monster.
