He is questioning Mr. Brennan from a faux premise.
THE USA IS NOT OMNIPOTENT in its global authority. Sovereign nations do not have to cooperate at all with USA intelligence needs or a need to interrogate or to prosecute.
The most obvious example is Russia. It does not recognize extradition. There are nations that will not extradite due to the USA death penalty.
The USA relies on allies and cooperation to obtain intelligence to formulate policy. Having an autonomous ability to carry out any whim of the USA is called war.
There is also no justification for Gitmo based in the 'idea' the USA has a holding cell attached with interrogation and torture for every person in the world they want to question.
A case has to be built to ASK other nations for cooperation. Our interrogation of foreign citizens is based in FACTS, not myth and not ideas. It is based in facts and if the USA cannot obtain the facts it has no right to ask anything.
