It's not a wild connection; conspiracy in the US to aid murder/torture abroad is currently a violation of US law.

Couching it in "unethical law enforcement operations" doesn't really change the fact of the matter, does it?

I'm assuming you're trying to convince the rest of the thread, and not me. I think what Cisco did here was repellant and that they richly deserve to lose the civil suit against them, but I also thinking trying to twist criminal law to specifically target the villain of the moment is a terrible idea that will backfire, badly.
