I like True_Moose's response. ALong the same vein, let me ask:

If possession of 29g of pot in the US (Chicago being the e.g.) is a misdemeanor yet in some other country it is life in prison, and a US person is caught in the other country with 29g, should we (the US) not allow them to exact THEIR punishment on the basis it is an unfair law? I mean, just because it isn't how WE do it, does that equal "All Americans are only subject to US laws when on foreign soil"??????

Oh, I just saw he was a US citizen. That makes it a no-brainer, though what I said above still applies.
