So are lots of Americans. Their military also torture, violate and abuse human rights in other countries. They even have a special place in Cuba just for this.

Why do they have jurisdiction?
In a truly just world, they would extradite him back to Syria. So he could ride on the magic carpet.
Because they say so. Who is going to stop them?
Certainly not the angry mob
Well, they have jurisdiction because the accused is on US soil. See, when you go to another country, and set foot on their territory, you enter their jurisdiction. I know this is a lot, so hang in there with me, cause this is where it gets wild. Once you’re in their jurisdiction, they can then charge you with crimes. Many countries have used this little known trick to prosecute people for a myriad of crimes.
