re: 3 US governors ask Turks and Caicos to release Americans detained over ammo

Those guys are "ours" and T&C is "them." It's perfectly reasonable and sound to favor us over them even if we acknowledge these guys screwed up in some limited fashion.

Throwing power and weight around is the natural and historic condition of negotiations and we have leverage over T&C. Perfectly fine to use it here, IMO.

Completely agree.

I can't wrap my head around the straight up blind notion that "well they have rules". By that measure T&C could have them publicly executed and people would be fine with it "because rules".
