No presidential statement or White House press briefing was held on it. In fact, all that can be found about it on the official White House Web site is the Dec. 17 announcement and one-paragraph text of President Obama's Executive Order 12425, with this innocuous headline: "Amending Executive Order 12425 Designating Interpol as a public international organization entitled to enjoy certain privileges, exemptions, and immunities."In fact, this new directive from Obama may be the most destructive blow ever struck against American constitutional civil liberties. No wonder the White House said as little as possible about it. There are multiple reasons why this Obama decision is so deeply disturbing. First, the Obama order reverses a 1983 Reagan administration decision in order to grant Interpol, the International Criminal Police Organization, two key privileges. First, Obama has granted Interpol the ability to operate within the territorial limits of the United States without being subject to the same constitutional restraints that apply to all domestic law enforcement agencies such as the FBI. Second, Obama has exempted Interpol's domestic facilities -- including its office within the U.S. Department of Justice -- from search and seizure by U.S. authorities and from disclosure of archived documents in response to Freedom of Information Act requests filed by U.S. citizens. Think very carefully about what you just read: Obama has given an international law enforcement organization that is accountable to no other national authority the ability to operate as it pleases within our own borders, and he has freed it from the most basic measure of official transparency and accountability, the FOIA. The Examiner has asked for but not yet received from the White House press office an explanation of why the president signed this executive order and who among his advisers was involved in the process leading to his doing so. Unless the White House can provide credible reasons to think otherwise, it seems clear that Executive Order 12425's consequences could be far-reaching and disastrous. To cite only the most obvious example, giving Interpol free rein to act within this country could subject U.S. military, diplomatic, and intelligence personnel to the prospect of being taken into custody and hauled before the International Criminal Court as "war criminals." As National Review Online's Andy McCarthy put it, the White House must answer these questions: Why should we elevate an international police force above American law? Why would we immunize an international police force from the limitations that constrain the FBI and other American law-enforcement agencies? Why is it suddenly necessary to have, within the Justice Department, a repository for stashing government files that will be beyond the scrutiny of Congress, American law enforcement, the media, and the American people?
Poster Comment: Old news but important. It's not just Libya and Pakistan's sovereignty that Obama has been violating but America's too.

Waiting for them to get a warrant from The Hague to pick up the Bushes, Bill Clinton and Obama.
Cross referencing 4um thread, "UPDATING THE UPDATES - Executive Order 12425 - What The Hell Is This? What Did Obama Just Do?": YouTube video: On September 11th NO ONE Called Interpol! (?)

At uk.answers.yahoo.com: How Ironic that it was Colonel Gaddafi who first issued an arrest warrant for Osama Bin Laden in 1998 ? And now after laying waste to Afghanistan and Iraq in their search for Turrahists and Weapons of massive destruction, the Americans have carried out Colonel Gaddafi's arrest warrant at the very same time that they are laying waste to Libya. Will the lesson of history teach us, that if Colonel Gaddafi was half the manical dangerous bast*rd he was cracked up to be by the Americans, he would have 'taken out' Bin Laden in 1998 - thus preventing 9/11, the Afghan and Iraq invasions and now be the hero of America rather than Obama ?

The only problem with this is that 9-11 was perpetrated by the Israelis.

It's not just Libya and Pakistan's sovereignty that Obama has been violating but America's too. Obama is slowly turning the USA into the new Soviet Union. Freedom here is going the way of the dinosaurs. The solution is to go armed ALWAYS, as the 2nd Amendment suggests. Absolutely correct.

Some media sources that shrugged at Interpol and it's arrest warrant for Bin Laden prior to 9/11 too: CNN, Reuters, Associated Press, APTV, Kuwaiti newspaper Al Rai Al-AAM, Middle East Broadcasting Company. Video shows bin Laden urging Muslims to prepare for fighting ATLANTA (CNN) -- Osama bin Laden has produced a videotape in which he is directing his followers to prepare for fighting. [sic] Much of the information about the tape comes from the Kuwaiti newspaper Al Rai Al-AAM, which says the entire tape is about 100 minutes long. The tape, which was given to Reuters Television, opens with video of the USS Cole after it was attacked by suicide bombers in the port of Aden, Yemen. Seventeen U.S. service members were killed and 39 injured in the attack on October 12, 2000. Later in the tape, as men run in a circle at night holding rifles as mortar fire streaks over their heads, chanting men's voices are heard thanking Allah "who made us victorious the day we destroyed the ship on the sea." A section of the tape, which was broadcast by APTV, shows bin Laden commenting on the attack. [sic] The U.S. government has offered a $5 million award for information leading to bin Laden's arrest, after he was indicted in absentia in the bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. The August 7, 1998, blasts in Tanzania and Kenya killed 224 people, including 12 Americans, and injured more than 4,000 others. History Commons Profile: Baker Atyani June 21, 2001: Senior Al-Qaeda Officials Say Important Surprises Coming Soon Baker Atyani, reporter for the Middle East Broadcasting Company, sits with Ayman al-Zawahiri and bin Laden. [Source: CNN] (click image to enlarge) Baker Atyani, a reporter for the Middle East Broadcasting Company interviews bin Laden. Keeping a promise made to Taliban leader Mullah Omar, bin Laden does not say anything substantive, but Ayman al-Zawahiri and other top al-Qaeda leaders promise that “[the] coming weeks will hold important surprises that will target American and Israeli interests in the world.” [Associated Press, 6/24/2001; Associated Press, 6/25/2001] Atyani says, “There is a major state of mobilization among the Osama bin Laden forces. It seems that there is a race of who will strike first. Will it be the United States or Osama bin Laden?” [Reuters, 6/23/2001] [sic] He is also shown a several-months-old videotape in which bin Laden declares, “It’s time to penetrate America and Israel and hit them where it hurts most.” The video is soon made public (see June 21, 2001). [CNN, 6/21/2001][My note: media reports linked at the site] That reporter and video is probably what is referenced here: Al Qaeda infiltrated by CNN but not CIA -- Voice of William (Bill) Cooper on June 28, 2001 Evidently, Interpol wasn't much concerned about finding Bin Laden before or after 9/11. That's strange. Yet Obama oddly overlooked all of that shoddy, shady, do-nothingness and rewarded them with autonomy here to trample America's sovereignty.

What has American law got to do with anything, anymore? THINK GLOBAL!!!!!!!!! I was thinking recently about America being called the New World, back in the time of Columbus. Might have something to do with Obama and the Globalist Bunch acting so confused like America's Presidency means President of the NWO but it doesn't really. More on Obama's NWO/American Disorder agenda to undermine America's sovereignty posted at Rense.com as "Obama to Hand Space Jurisdiction over to Europeans": Europeanizing American Space Activities by Stealth Obama is proposing to bind the U.S. by executive order to a European "Code of Conduct" for space activities that would stifle missile defense and open our commercial space industry to the prying eyes of competitors.

Thanks for the info. It seems everything is international/global policy now, and Obama does act like the heir apparent. It appears to me that the turmoil in the GLOBAL economy is a massive adjustment to a zero sum position as the wealth of nations, excluding the wealth of the elite, is distributed equally among the developing countries and the poor. The elites are taking the lions portion as they reduce industrialized nations to third world status and third world countries are being exploited for their resources.

You're welcome. I hope that awake Americans will keep in mind that treaties can't be made without approval of the Senate and that Executive Orders are not laws but more like just inter-office memos.

The reason why Obama gave Interpol power to run here in America, is that anything that smacks of Anti-Semitism, that finds its way to Germany, or any of the pro-Israeli controlled European countries, can and would be prosecutable. Meaning, if you were to post anti-semitic, or Holocaust Denial type material to the web, hell, even commenting on it on a forum like this one, can land you in jail in Europe. They want to do that here in the worst way. It's all about creating a global police state, one where your rights and freedoms evaporate on the altar of the global community. The one I'm waiting for, is that global Earth tax crap that they'll foist on us at some point.

Government offices around the world I'm thinking we don't actually need office space or a desk/table or even a nice tablecloth to just say No to the NWO and completely disown them along with all of their schemes. Sure, they might try to force us to do their bidding but how many of them are there compared to all Americans and the world community too who are opposed to their tyranny? ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col.

How Ironic that in March 1998, Libya (under Colonel Gaddafi) issued the first official Interpol arrest warrant against Osama Bin Laden and three other people. They were charged for killing two German citizens in Libya on March 10, 1994, one of whom is thought to have been a German counter-intelligence officer. Bin Laden is still wanted by the Libyan government.

In the name of better managing the celestial environment, the Obama administration seems to be on the verge of imposing new international constraints on the American space establishment, without consultation with the Senate. Sources in the arms-control community inform me that, as part of its National Security Space Strategy released a couple months ago, the White House plans to sign an executive order soon that will compel both the U.S. military and commercial space industry to comply with the European Union “ Code of Conduct” for space activities. [sic -- recalling Obama's dastardly Interpol manuevers]
By focusing on limiting military operations, the Code of Conduct blurs the distinction between arms control agreements on the one hand and law of war agreements on the other. Arms control agreements are about limiting the quality or quantity of arms in peace time. Law of war treaties are about defining permitted and prohibited actions in the conduct of war. This is not a trifling distinction for military commanders. They can be put in jeopardy of prosecution for violating the laws of war. Accordingly, a future military commander who has to make a split-second decision in the conduct of a space operation that could generate space debris may face a war crime charge if the Code of Conduct, following its entry into force, is deemed to be a law of war agreement.
If my sources are correct, and the administration plans to do this soon by executive order, it may be time for those senators opposed to do more than write letters to Foggy Bottom.
