Sorry, bad explanation. I was trying to say that the US cannot go into a country with troops, hold people who are breaking neither international law nor any law of that country, take them to the US on the grounds that they have broken US law (when they were not in the US). I have made the assumption that the individuals who have been and are held in Guantanamo were/are being held for breaking some law(s). Many of those individuals in Afghanistan were not wanted international criminals, nor breaking any international or Afghanistan laws, yet were taken into US custody.
