Are you suggesting the USA needs to vouchsafe broken judicial systems the world over by offering asylum to everyone who happened to be near a crime?

Not at all, I was trying hard to suggest nothing and simply ask your opinion of it, but I was also asking within the confines of the abused system we currently have. Nothing was intended to suggest it’s a good process.

Why not just run a foreign witness protection branch? Is it because the country is so corrupt it can't work?

That could be a good idea, actually.

Which is unfair because the CIA fucks these countries harder than anything

Yep. Hence my being open to potentially something, while simultaneously hating being crowded out of my own country and ruled by foreigners. We did allow and help fund that corruption, though. It’s not absurd that some portion of the responsibility should fall on our heads. “Handle it there” does seem like a better approach than what we have.

Long story short, just wasn’t sure what to make of that situation.
