   The United States Supreme Court has ruled that it is legal for US Law
   Enforcement people to kidnap and bring into the country foreign nationals
   for trial under US law. Not even foreign heads of state are immune (like

I believe the federal court eventually ruled that Noriega was a
Prisoner of War.
