Sad but true. The early and vigorous reaction by the WH before reading the law shows that it's a political objection more than anything.
Remember back at the first of the year when Obambi signed the executive order giving interpol free reign in America.
ie; Now interpol can arrest people and deport them without due process or having to answer to the foi act etc.
Well now we have a case that may put that policy to the test.
We have an American citizen of Persian descent who has lived here in America for 19 years who runs a TV station in LA that beams his broadcasts via satelite to Iran.
Because he doesn't praise the mullahs there the iranian government has filed a request for an arrest warrant with interpol on the grounds that the man is a 'terrorist.'
The man has never committed an act of violence nor does he encourage any violent act.
Interpol at first said they don't get involved into political matters but under pressure from iran they have issued a 'red alert' and sent it to their 188 member countries telling them to be on the lookout for the man.
This means the man could be arrested any time he crosses into any other country or even in a worst case scenario he could be arrested by interpol and deported to iran while being denined his rights as an American citizen, to be tortured to death in an iranian prison.
BTW, the 188 member countries of interpol provide most of it's funding and since we are a member we contribute as well, very difficult to find out just how much of the fare we pay, I would bet it's more than our fair share, wouldn't you??
What what?
