Reply #28: Even the U.S. government understands this was German jurisdiction

"We did, at senior levels at the U.S. government, contact the German authorities to emphasize that we thought it was important that he serve out his entire term, but we did so with a full understanding that under German law it was highly likely that he was going to be released," State Department Sean McCormack said."

They were objecting to this man being paroled, and hoping to convince the Germans to cancel the parole.

"We have been in contact with them on the issue," McCormack said. "And at this point I think what I can assure anybody who's listening, including Mr. Hamadi, is that we will track him down. We will find him. And we will bring him to justice in the United States for what he's done."

This threat has no legal standing, but they may be implying that they will rendition him illegally and imprison him in the new U.S. gulag, without any trial. Or simply execute him. Bush no longer cares about the rule of law anyway.
