> prosecution in a free country

The free country responsible for the Guantanamo secret prison? We are talking about the same one?

We're talking about the same country(s).

I still consider the US, Sweeden, and the UK "free countries".

Well I don't know about Sweden but the UK is falling into mass surveillance of its own population, and the US is already there and on top of that engages in wars without any form of Congress approval for a while now, and jails people for non-violent drug possession still. I guess Freedom is relative.

As long as "free" is firmly inside the quotation marks, sure.
