This is a striking example of extradition concerns with countries that oppose the death penalty.

You know, I can respect the argument against the death penalty, I really can. But no life without parole? How long will they let you lock a murderer up for?

Maybe we should just agree to leave him in Costa Rica. Let's just make sure the Costa Ricans are aware of it.

"And I have been told by the (U.S.) Secretary of State's office that if I did not do that, then he would be in Costa Rica forever. They wouldn't return him."

Just one more example of why the State department should be disbanded and reformed with a prohibition on any former employees returning.

They should be leaning on foreign countries, not local US Jurisdictions.

Costa Rica is becoming a haven for American ex-patriots and tax frauds hiding in the open. Ticos are a very friendly people who have a government that promotes universal health care and free education for everybody. But Costa Rica has no standing army. The country is being taken over carefully by drug cartels and covert operatives from socialist states. Inch by inch they move into power behind a smoke screen of diplomatic immunity. The hotels are beautiful but some have huge brothels operating 24/7. Tico banks are laundering more money than Panamanian banks were when Bush, Sr. invaded to capture Noreiga.
