Replying to a message of Robert G Lewis to adam flinton:

 RGL> From: "Robert G Lewis" 

 RGL> Outside of a declared war why shouldn't the Mossad agents , or PLO or
 RGL> CIA etc be subject to the laws of the country they are operating in
 RGL> ?

They should be.  It does seem that the various national governments
sometimes go out of their way to avoid catching
them.

 RGL> Since this particular murder occurred outside the US I don't think
 RGL> the US should prosecute him though.

Italy should have prosecutorial jurisdiction.  It was their ship and their
crew, and the voyage originated in Italy.
