(OT) SPECIAL: for Ace and other ditto heads
All US military bases are US soil, just as are all US embassies. As such,
the US Supreme Court and lower Federal courts have jurisdiction over
anyone being detained on any US military base.
There is no presiding US court judge at any US military base in a foreign
country, but all JAG court decisions are appealable and addressable to US
Federal courts, including the Supreme Court.
I always wondered why the US airbases in the UK were called RAF Stations,
not USAF Bases - now I know why.
Thanks for the info.
