than common sense, but from reading some of the views here, I see that some
are surprised by this fact or think that the "U.S. Constitution will protect
them". I'm surprised to find such views here: why would you be exempt ? You
are living in another country, for god's sakes.

Step back and take a deep breath, Amara. Pretty please. <G> You say, "You
are living in another country, for God's sake."
       Please note:
1. I was not living in a foreign country. I was based in a foreign country.
 I lived on an American base.
2. I did not go there voluntarily, I was sent there as a serviceman by my
government.
3. The constitution says clearly that no American citizen will be handed
over to a foreign government. My constitutional rights were clearly violated
by my government without my agreement.
