Interpol: Update

I was happy to hear a panel, including Charles Krauthammer, on Fox today explain that the "immunity" that Interpol is getting will NOT mean they can run around arresting or investigating American citizens without Constitutional limitations, which is certainly what the initial fear buzz indicated.

Turns out the executive order extends to Interpol the relatively benign "immunity" that the Red Cross, and as Krauthammer said, the Swiss delegation, enjoys.

As he put it, "they won't have to pay parking tickets".

While this turns out not to warrant the somewhat breathless outrage of many bloggers, myself included, I think we can all be forgiven for leaping to the conclusions we did.

After all, Obama's track record speaks for itself, and giving a European Police Agency immunity to arrest and investigate American citizens...say....for "war crimes", is absolutely not outside the realm of possibility for the Marxist Grad Student Resident of the United States.

At least not in my opinion. 

But, at least ONE thing he's done lately will not destroy, at least in the immediate future, more liberty of American citizens.

And for this small reality, we can all be truly grateful.
