I Really Don't Like The Sound Of This

According to Power Line, Spanish magistrate Baltasar Garzon has launched an inquisition into America's treatment of terrorist detainees (Spanish courts assert world-wide jurisdiction over certain categories of "crimes").  The article at Power Line poses this question:

"If the Attorney General of the United States once accepts the absurdity that a Spanish court and Spanish judge, Baltasar Garzón, sitting in Spain and operating under Spanish law, actually have jurisdiction over American officials making official policy decisions inside the United States about how American military and intelligence agents can interrogate detainees at an American Marine Corps base inside Cuba... then how can Holder later limit such jurisdiction to "evidentiary requests?""

If we are willing to let a European court (not even an international one) have jurisdiction over actions committed by American officials in America, then who is in charge of America?  This is an idea that needs to go away quickly.
