Just to clarify this - you believe that it'd be ok for an American arrested abroad to be subjected to torture or imprisonment without trial in a similar manner?
You can't pick and choose who should be treated according to laws imho, if you set down laws then everyone should follow them - I sincerely believe that a society is judged by how it treats its lesser mmbers whether those are criminals, foreign nationals or the poor.
(as an aside as a 'foreigner' if the US didn't treat me fairly I sure as heck wouldn't be living over here and I think you'd probably find that the amount of tourists visiting would decrease somewhat
