How many attacks in the last 5 years have there been in Cuba by Cuban
Americans? Haven't the Russians detained a couple of Americans in Chechnya?
Did not the British detain some Irish Americans at the height of the IRA

What about the Americans captured in Central America by the Sandinista
government? They were engaged in terrorist acts against a legitimate
government.
Want more examples?
