49. In the U.S. no spouse has to answer questions about his or her spouse.

There's a spousal privilege, much like attorney client.

Besides, you're mixing apples and oranges. Questioning someone within your own borders is not comparable to having another sovereign nation deliver someone to you for questioning, especially when one of the reasons given is to see if that sovereign nation "harbored" Osama. We suspected Iraq and Afghanistan of doing that, and look what we did about our suspicions.

According to the OP, we're asking Pakistan to deliver people to us so we can find out if Pakistan did something we bombed two other countries for.

Pakistan may turn these women over, but it would be within its rights as a sovereign nation to refuse.
