The 'ends-justify-the-means' argument is the same one used by the terrorists.
Please try and be self consistant - or - simply wrap yourself in your flag and don't try to make intelligent justifications for breaking foreign laws - there are none.
What would be justified would be to state that you are a proud citizen of the United States of America, and will back anything that your government does in order to further its interests.
Using your own arguments, it is perfectly reasonable for a citizen of a foreign government to break the laws in the US, as long as it is in the interests of their own nation..

I'm not wrapping myself in the flag, and yes, there are intelligent justifications for breaking foreign laws. Just because you dont agree with them does not take away the justification.
I dont back anything the government does, if you read any of my posts I have many disagreements with our government and our current administration. However, if grabbing some guy in Italy saves dozens/hundreds/thousands of innocent lives.. then so be it.
As for the breaking of international intelligence laws... show me ONE country that doesnt do this. Even Switzerland has an intelligence agency.
