Should America allow its citizens, guilty or not, to spend 29 months in a foreign jail (or US jail for that matter) without a trial?

We have jurisdiction over how the Monaco government runs it's judicial system?

I guess then that the Sudan has a right to demand the freedom of Sudnaese-American Muslim that decides to kill a Christian on American soil, since that's not really a crime back in the homeland.

Who said we did?
But Americans do stick up for Americans, no matter where they are.
Does the phrase "Innocent until proven guilty" mean anything to you?

No, we don't have jurisdiction in Monaco, but wouldn't you want your representatives to at least request a trial? Forgiving murder is hardly the same as requesting that their justice system start working within 2 years. One is moral and just, the other is not.
