“I’m not going to lose a lot of sleep over this one.”
What next? Why can’t obama drop bombs on a “domestic terrorist” in Montana? What’s the difference? Geography? When people finally ask why the feds just say, “the guy was making bombs and threatening the president. We have it all on his hard drive. Yes, he’s dead and unfortunately he cannot say otherwise”.
What happened to the TEA party radical’s hard drive? We recycled it. We like to be green by recycling evidence. Otherwise it just piles up and gathers dust. Icky!
Trust us. We’re helping keep America secure and safe.

How about if we just send the FBI all of the world to investigate terror attacks like we did with Kobar Towers? Clinton was vilified here for doing it....and rightly so.
“There is a group in Waco, Texas making and hoarding guns. We have to send in tanks with CS gas and armed hueys to save the children”.
Eric Holder was the number 2 guy under Janet Reno.
They have their key people in place.
Tin foil that.
To specifically answer your question about geography, yes it does make a difference. The nations where these guys take refuge have at best duplicitous and corrupt officials. You’re never going to get them to cool operate in handing them over. Pakistan proved that with bin Laden. Why risk high-value operators apprehending them when we have other options? These individuals have sought refuge with hostiles and openly renounced this nation’s constitution and laws. They forfeit the protection it affords, IMO.
