Oh, god. Saxby wants to withhold aid to any country that won't extradite

[Ian David]

criminal suspects.

"the simple courtesy..."

[Jacobin]

1. I'm with Saxby. Ends aid to Israel

(but I'm sure as soon as dumbass figures this out, he'll change his tune)

4. no offense but who won't they extradite?

[atreides1]

11. Israel

Refused to extradite Samuel Sheinbein, after he fled to Israel for the murder and dismemberment of his friend Alfredo Tello, his accomplice, Aaron Needle committed suicide by hanging himself in the
Montgomery County jail in Maryland.

So Mr. Needle got his just deserts, Mr. Sheinbein, who is serving his time in an Israeli prison, could possibly be paroled in 2013 after serving 14 years of a 24 year prison sentence.

There is one caveat, if Mr. Sheinbein should attempt to enter the U.S. or any country that belongs to the Interpol organization, he can be arrested and charged with first-degree murder, and no double jeopardy doesn't count.

14. interesting...

I assume the U.S. did request extradition?

15. Isreal refuses to extradite any citizen of theirs to any non Jewish land

They do try the people themselves and sentences them under Israeli law but they don't extradite.

16. Thanks for the information

2. What about the U.S. that won't extradite the terrorist we have to Venzuala

[htuttle]

3. I think Hugo Chavez would be in favor of that idea

Luis Posada still has a jail cell waiting for him in Caracas.

5. Certainly one of the less crazy ideas I've heard from a repub

[napi21]

6. Saxby is a snake~ If he wants it, it's BAD!

I know!!! He's my Senator!!!!

[LSparkle]

7. Hate him ... don't even like his name -- sounds like a poofter

(Apologies to poofters.) Slimebag "beat" Max Cleland using RoveKill's playbook. UGH.

[napi21]

10. I know it's a terrible reason to dislike somebody, but.....

who in the world would name their kid Saxby????

I tried to ignore that, and listened to him during the campaign. He's an arrogant, wealthy scumbag!

I repeat, if Saxby suggests it, it's BAD!!!!!!

8. Problem is, we no longer hold ourselves to constitutional standards

Anyone we suspect of being an "enemy combatant" would be fair game and never get a fair trial.

This would allow us to have un-fettered access to any citizen, of any country, anywhere in the world.

And the way things are going, any one of us could find ourselves at the wrong end of that law.

12. They are already kidnapping people around the world and torturing them

aka. 'Extraordinary Rendition'. Recently got us in trouble with the Italians, for instance.

Any one of us could find ourselves at the wrong end of the 'law' (or lack thereof) as it is now.

[Ian David]

13. With that law, any country that doesn't cooperate would be sanctioned

Too bad we won't use this to make Pakistan turn-over Bin Laden, will we?

[malaise]

9. Did you hear that

the empire is going completely mad.

[mandomom]

17. Let's use this.

Bush must give this nation the simple courtesy of refusing to harbor a suspected felon.

If you harbor a suspected felon, you share the guilt.
