I think a nation has the obligation protect its citizens' rights. It isn't obligated to protect other nations' citizens, but I don't mind if we extend the curtesy to our guests. If they're here legally.
This is some nonsense talk going on here. Nobody has any right to initiate force to extract information from another.
Based on what?
No one has a right to fly planes into skyscrapers either. Oh wait...
What about the authority to kill someone in war?
Yer the one all IoF'y. You tell me.
Just answer the question. You know what I'm asking. Dare to put yourself out there and give an honest answer.

I'm kinda in agreement, with the caveat "if they aren't certain the person has information."
My honest answer to your non-question question is this:
The U.S. murders anyone they please, anywhere they please and attempt to justify it with the word "war".
We, the people, allow this - many even delight in it - but none of us could ever authorize it.
Are you speaking of "other nation's citizens" in their home countries (which I agree), or that happen to be on US soil (which runs contrary to the spirit of the Constitution)
