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.
The USA does whatever it wants, whenever it wants. Period. You don't like it, you're a terrorist and a threat to our national security. We may just kidnap you, lock you up in Gitmo with no trial, and hold you there forever where you will be tortured.

America, fuck ya.

Not "trying." They usually do it.

Just imagine the world in 20 more years. It's gonna be great.
