He could be charged under US law if he committed the crime in the US and was arrested in the US, otherwise, it's not even a crime.

Now, with that said, why the CIA has allowed him to continue to operate is stunning. I'm really surprised he hasn't been shot dead yet.
that's not true, he is still breaking american law and is subject to their laws because of it. As it is the same with any country.

cia doesn't 'allow' shit.. you guys watch too many movies.. they aren't in control of everything and kill off people to suit their needs.. they tried meddling like that in the past and realized it just makes more of a mess than it does fixing the problem. This is the same organization that couldn't even kill Castro despite hundreds of attempts...
