On December 16th 2009, Barack Obama amended executive order 12425 abridging the Reagan Administration Order which -- while recognizing INTERPOL (international police agency) as a public international organization -- had limited INTERPOL's privileges and immunities within the United States. Until Dec 16th 2009, INTERPOL did not have full immunity from U.S. laws. They were subject to search and seizure of their premises and assets, subject to Freedom of Information Act requests and subject while operating in the United States to our criminal rules of procedure. All that has changed.
Barack Obama has, with the stroke of his executive pen, elevated INTERPOL above U.S. law and above our own law enforcement agencies, in effect subjugating our sovereignty and immunity to the whim of foreign courts. Currently, the inferences being made are that "war criminals" as determined in the Hague, Netherlands, by the "World Court" and the International Criminal Court (ICC) are now subject to arrest and apprehension without U.S. protection and due process of law. The names of Dick Cheney and George Bush are being mentioned. However, any one of us, any U.S. Citizen found in violation of an international law or agreement could in theory be apprehended and hauled before the World Court, ICC or any other foreign court, without due process protection of (U.S.) law.
Some might say, as if this isn't bad enough in and of itself, that only our political leaders and military would be subject to such arrest. I don't want our soldiers apprehended and brought before a foreign court, do you? Can you imagine the legislation we'll be subjected to as our elected representatives attempt to avoid violating international laws? What about those among us, individuals or small businesses, who might be found guilty of violating international Environmental laws; or the international rights of the child laws; or hate speech violations such as got radio talk host Michael Savage banned from Britain? The list goes on.
In addition to its role as the de facto enforcement agency of the world court and ICC, INTERPOL works WITH foreign governments to help them arrest individuals found in violation of their laws but that are residing beyond their borders. The Obama amendment and abridgment of the Reagan executive order allows INTERPOL and thus foreign powers to sidestep U.S. and State law. They can now reach into the heart of our nation and snatch up anyone deemed guilty of crime by foreign courts. The Obama amendment holds that all INTERPOL assets, files, investigative tools and so on are "inviolable". The term "assets" can include some of the following: agents, cars, weapons, offices, airplanes, helicopters, boats or ships... really it includes all gathered intelligence as well as people and hardware of any kind deployed by the agency to accomplish its law enforcement objective.
I doubt the Obama Administration can produce a rational and reasoned answer to the question "why was executive order 12425 amended in this way?" It's time at the conservative grass roots level to do ALL that is necessary and sufficient to win the congress back completely and strip these looney Marxist democrats of their power.

We need as conservs to help unite the GOP with Indies, Reagan Dems, Libertarians who have like interests in stopping Care, Cap and Trade, higher taxes and spending.There are many races that swing states have that can now be won. Drop by my newest friend
Thanks FinalRac. I agree. there are some operatives out here very concerned that we might succeed in courting and winning-over Indies, Libertarians and Reagan Dems. I've found libertarians very reluctant to take needed risks to further the cause of individual liberty, but they talk a good show. Nonetheless, we need them, as our overall objective must be to preserve the Constitutional union at all costs.
