National Review Online has more from a former prosecutor, who opines:
You just can't make up how brazen this crowd is. One week ago, President Obama quietly signed an executive order that makes an international police force immune from the restraints of American law.UPDATE: A counterpoint, via Mack H.

immunity from our "law" or not,I bet they still bleed like the rest of us.
Just sayin......
CIII
Sorry Pres. Obama, but an executive order can't do that. Only Congress can pass laws. Your executive order powers are LIMITED to the Executive Branch of government. Didn't they teach you that in Civics class?
Does it also make them immune to the laws of physics? Because if it doesn't they might still want to behave.
Interesting 2 day discussion, David.
The Fourth Amendment blog offers an interesting counterpoint:
So, where does it say that INTERPOL gets to act outside the Fourth Amendment? It doesn't. Nothing in the article or the statute it quotes says a word about it, except the writer's imagination and lack of reading comprehension. This is just wrong. Dead wrong. Even a commenter got on the bandwagon and agreed without critical analysis. Maybe even without reading. See also the PatriotRoom.com with a slightly different view.
The old early law career saw "RTFS" applies: Read The Frigging Statute.
Update: Agreeing with Baker is BenBarrack.com believing INTERPOL is a foreign police force to bring us to trial in the ICC.
Agreeing with me: This Ain't Hell.
To clarify, I don't necessarily agree with Hall, I'm simply passing his opinion along for review.
Barred by law from compiling data on Americans via no warrant wiretaps and surveillance (pre Patriot), fedgov hired our allies to do so under the Echelon programs.
Now we can hire interpol to disappear Americans at any time for any reason.
Men have revolted for lesser infringements.
