#4 Remember the executions in Texas of 'foreigners'. Per another 'protocol', the home nation is 'suppose' to get first shot at notification of arrest, arraignment, in put during trial etc. Appeals have been made to shut down the execution because all the i's weren't dotted and t's crossed in that process.

The Senate should raise hell about this - but they won't, as long as Dingy Harry is in charge.
