I'm sure he'll be given a chance to exonerate himself when presented with the evidence that he committed a crime in the US by supplying illegal drugs knowingly for importation into the US. If he can't, we may even turn him over to his own government for disposal or, more likely, try him here and make him Noriega's cellmate. >================================================ > >So the US is arresting people who have not committed a crime in the US, or >people out at sea beyond their jurisdiction, and this is not piratical >behavior? --- As noted above, both of those individuals _did_ commit crimes in the US and, as such, are subject to prosecution under US law. -- John Fields Professional Circuit Designer
