[Serious] Tit for tat.

They must have known that he was there; why did they tolerate him?  And, besides, the United Stats is harboring (i.e., "granting asylum") to wanted fugitives of other governments.  If they (maybe China or Russia) would launch some hypersonic missile, killing that "fugitive", how would our government react??

A ‘wanted fugitive’ isn’t the same as a war criminal (though there is admittedly some overlap). Also, it’s kind of silly to equate ‘granting asylum’ with ‘harbouring fugitives’.

The difference between wanted fugitive and war criminal is the point of view of whoever has enough followers to believe it.

The crap movie Red Dawn had one good part - 

When the Soviet officer accused the mayor' s son of "being part of an elitist paramilitary organization".

The mayor says "For crissakes - he' s an Eagle Scout!"

Neither is really wrong....
