Section 433(3) of the Tentative Draft states that under the law of the United States, a person apprehended in a foreign state, whether by foreign or by U.S. officials, and delivered to the United States, may be prosecuted in the United States, but finds an exception where the person “was treated in such outrageous and reprehensible manner as to shock the conscience of civilized society.” Compare United States v. Toscanino, 500 F.2d 267 (2d Cir. 1974); see Tentative Draft No. 3, §433, Comment c and Reporters’ Note 3.
