I woke up and saw an article in Helsingin Sanomat onine saying that the US has withdrawn from Vienna Convention on Consular Rights, which would mean that arrested foreigners would no longer have access to the diplomatic representatives of their own country. I almost piised my pants. "We did WHAT?!!!"
Turns out we didn't. The US has withdrawn only from the Optional Protocol that allows the International Court of Justice to intervene in such cases. Not that this was a particularly bright idea either, mind you.
