I mean if we can go into other countries an grab up "detainee's just because someone said that person did this or that and hold them "indefinitely" then why doesn't the same apply to you? See how that works?

You obviously know nothing about Interpol, since that is not how the organization operates:
Quote:
In order to maintain as politically neutral a role as possible, Interpol's constitution forbids its involvement in crimes that do not overlap several member countries, or in any political, military, religious, or racial crimes.
Its work focuses primarily on public safety, terrorism, organized crime, crimes against humanity, genocide, war crimes, Piracy, illicit drug production, drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, human trafficking, money laundering, child pornography, white-collar crime, computer crime, intellectual property crime and corruption.

From the Interpol website:
INTERPOL's six priority crime areas
Drugs and criminal organizations
Tackling the growing problem of drug abuse and trafficking, often linked to other crimes.
Financial and High-tech Crime
Combating counterfeiting, payment card fraud, intellectual property and cyber-crime.
Fugitives
Tracing fugitives, who threaten public safety and undermine criminal justice systems.
Public safety and terrorism
Countering terrorism, which threatens public safety and world security.
Trafficking in human beings
Fighting abuse and exploitation of people, which breach human rights and destroy lives.
Corruption
'Working together towards a corruption-free world by promoting and defending integrity, justice and the rule of law.?

INTERPOL uses a system of colour-coded international notices to locate, arrest or provide warnings about fugitives and other criminals. In 2007 alone, co-operation between INTERPOL?s member countries led to more than 5,200 arrests across the globe.
