The instant you allow due process to be pushed aside because "the guy deserved it" your screwed. Government does not give up power without a fight. In this instance it was used in a way you agree with, there is no guarantee you will agree with them the next time it happens. And by then its too late.
I'm not a citizen of New Zealand and if the US wants to violate my right to due process they aren't going to have to come looking for me. I'd be more upset with the NZ government for buckling to external pressure than I would be with the US for going after some douche giving the world the finger (literally) while hiding behind international law.
Exactly. It's not like the US invaded NZ. That scumbag is a career criminal and he still hasn't got what he deserves IMO. And how exactly has he been denied due process? He's in court with his lawyers isn't he? That IS due process.
