I don't see this as a violation of international law at all. I see this as proof that members of our armed forces were treated properly instead of being held in a prison cell.
All you want to do is make Obama look bad. A mistake was made - which had nothing to do with Obama, his administration, the White House, or even the Pentagon - and it was quickly handled by the State Department without incident. What happened here is a success story, but you want to try to make it look bad by claiming this is a violation of International law.
