They still owe us for the free housing and food!

Actually that reminds me of the April 2001 Hainan Spy Plane incident where a US spy plane was taken by the Chinese. Various intriguing legal arguments went into the ether during that time.

US: "If you would only be more transparent, we wouldn't need to spy on you. It's your own fault we were spying!"

PRC: "You owe us hangar and housing fees for the soldiers we detained. It comes to $1 million USD."

US: "The cockpit of the plane is part of US sovereign territory, as it's a flag-bearing US vessel. If you step inside that cockpit we're going to write a strongly worded complaint about it."

PRC: "The death of the one pilot in that crash is directly attributable to the head of the executive branch, and we are entertaining pressing murder charges against George Bush."

etc.
