No, they exist because the US can't legally arrest the person in the other country. A person outside the US may break US law and be subject to arrest if they ever come within the US. Such a person can't legally be arrested in the other country. This doesn't mean that they did not break a US law only that they can't be arrested for it. Extradition allows the other country to arrest people for breaking US laws and deprt them to the US. You seem to be confusing the practical issue of arresting someone with the legal one of them breaking a law. > >/BAH > -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

Funny thing though, they loved it so well that some thousands of years later they added another complete volume.

Extradition was never mean to be about the >extra-territorial application of law although the USA now seems to think it can >use it that way. Actually I disagree with you on this. You are not talking about BAH's mistake. She confuses being arrested with having broken a law. Some laws contain an extra-territorial component. These are usually laws against things that everyone agrees are bad. The Germans have laws against war crimes that apply to people outside their country. They need them to make it so that war criminals can be arrested etc. >Extradition has always traditionally been about the return of a suspected >criminal to the country in which the crime was committed. An example of that not being the case is where the person leaves the country and commits the crime in another country but is still subject to the law in the first country. A lot of countries have treason laws that work like that. If the person then goes to a third country, they can be arrested and sent back to the first even though the crime was actually committed in the second. > >Graham > -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

Oh good now you admit that there are moderates and exteremists. This is real progress. Now if we can just get you to notice the moderates arresting the extremists when they commit crimes, we can start to make some serious headway. >Until these moderates believe that there is a country who >will protect them with all its military might, they aren't >going to dare to say no to the violent factions. They only need to believe that their own country can protect them for them to act against the extremists. They also will give the extemists support if it looks like that is their only option to protect their government from an outside power. > For the >last two years, before the US' Novemeber elections, the >moderates started to talk against the violence. No, you only started hearing about it then. There has been a lot of talking that has not made it onto the US's news. > Then >the Democrats took majority in Congress. Now the moderates >will shut up and see if those Democrats will protect them. You are completely off base here. The democrats are the ones that the terrorist fear the most. Why do you think that every time there is a US election they do something that reminds you of their existance. They knew that the american voters, for some silly reason, voted republican when frightened. >It took Bush 6 years to get these moderates to voice their >opinions. Bush did nothing of the kind. He caused the extremists to gain a great deal of support. I think you must watch the Faux News channel. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge |
