Laws are for people we like, too.

If the treaty didn't apply to Mr. Luster, why should it apply to Mr. Chapman?

Reciprocity should work both ways. Mexico puts huge hurdles in our way before we can extradite murderers and rapists from their country. And I don't think this country even bothers trying to extradite burglars and car thieves from Mexico. Mexico should drop this request, as this does not rise to the level of a capital crime.

Laws are also for 12,000,000 fence-jumpers, although you wouldn't know it from the actions of the president, a lot of congress, and Attorney General Speedy Gonzales.

If Mexico starts respecting our laws, then we might respect theirs in a few decades! Fair play.

We should not send the Dog back for something that Mexico was not willing to do for us.

This doesn't have to do with liking the guy, this has to do with how asinine the request is. As it is said MANY times on this thread, how likely is Mexico to reciprocate this? They rarely send us our criminals.
And I also propose that Justice knows no borders. Dog did the Right thing. That man needed to be brought to justice, without all the silly red tape.
And this is how we repay our heros.
