    This is why the idea of "international law" and such can lead to some bad precedents. The guy finally has to answer to charges of something he did that was wrong, and the French are just expected to turn him back over like he was never there?

    It's one thing to arrest a fugitive at the Zurich airport and extradite him to the U.S. But obviously, the fact that a crime was committed in the process of delivery puts this case under a cloud. We'll see what happens.

    Hey, charge the French guy with kidnapping then, if you can prove he did it. Extradite him, or play the German's game and refuse to do so. But the fact is the French have their guy. Thus, he should start serving his time.

    According to the story, under French law (there's that dreaded L-word again), he has to be retried if arrested after being tried in absentia. Which raises the question of why waste time trying him in absentia in the first place without full bear of prosecutorial defense. Which, in turn, may raise the question of why Deutschland wouldn't protest. Just saying.

    Life imitating art? I saw Law Abiding Citizen over the weekend and, well, there are parallels. You know, up to the point where people started getting hacked to pieces.
