Having done counter terrorist work as a member of the military I can
tell you that you are wrong.

Those areas are "outside the country" for tax rules. Just as bonded
warehouses are. It just simplifies the transit of goods though
airports without needing to import and export. Thus saving a lot of
paperwork, time and money.

Passengers are accorded a similar sort of status in transit as well
simply to make administration easier otherwise you would need visas for
any airport you transited though.

However these areas are absolutely part of the host country and subject
to it's laws and LEA's. As any time the police and military can use
whatever powers they have at any place in the airport.

Actually as soon as the aircraft enters the countries airspace it, and
it's passengers, are subject to local laws.

Yes. And the California law has no bearing anywhere else in the world.

TO extradite the crime committed in California must also be a crime
where you want to extradite him from.

If for example it is illegal to paint a house green in London. I paint
my house green and then go to the USA. The UK could not extradite me
from the US to the UK because the USA would say "that is not a crime"

That is how extradition works.

So know we know. That wasn't difficult was it?

You will note that none of the CIA staff have been identified, or
appeared in any EU court to be found guilty. The reports were made in
2005 related to a 2003 kidnapping.
It seems this warrant was depending on a former Bush administration CIA
director to give up the identities and locations of the wanted
individuals. This was back in 2005 when the Bush administration was not
admitting to have done anything wrong, and I doubt that they have any
intention to do so now.

So, it seems until we are able to identify these "CIA agents" the
warrants are more of a diplomatic protest that an actual effort to
apprehend anybody. Any trial seems unlikely in the face of the Bush
administration's refusal to admit U.S agent involvement.
....but I guess we shall see.
