You have no idea what may or may not be going on behind the scenes to help this guy. Not everything involving state department business like this becomes or should become fodder for the media.
I thought you folks were sticklers about obeying the laws of foreign countries that others might enter? Furthermore, when have you ever had a problem before with rough treatment of prisoners?

He breaks the laws of another country while in that country and he should get a pass because he is a marine why?
