France Wants Moussaoui Back

Captain's Quarters ^ | May 4, 2006 | Captain Ed

We do not wish to rely on French tenacity in the war on terror; we learned that lesson a long time ago. Let the French try to invoke whatever treaties they want to request Moussaoui's extradition, and let them stomp their feet when we tell them to pound sand.

I couldn't have said it better.

[FormerLib]

Tell them they can come on over and try to take him!

[rightwinggoth]

This article seems pretty on point. I can't picture the French giving this creep more than 8-12 years.

[SheLion]

If we allowed him to go back to France, he would be back on the streets in just a matter of time. I sure pray the U.S. never gives him over to anyone else!

[MARKUSPRIME]

He wont be going back to France count on it. We know he will be released after a few years. The french and german systems are a joke.

[mfnorman]

in their dreams

[brooklyn dave]

They'd give him less because the attack was on Le Americains

[Fighting Irish]

Let's send him there....in a jet with no pilot and packed full of C4.

[coconutt2000]

I'd trade the guy back to the French under the condition that they let him fly the plane on the approach into Paris. /sarc

[Swanks]

Can US tourism to France, and export of frech wine to the US get to near zero? If they pursue this....we will see.

[wizardoz]

Envoyer quelqu'un comme lui est très cher. Pouvons-nous vous donner la
moitié de lui cette semaine, et l'autre moitié la semaine prochaine?

[Unam Sanctam]

We can send him to France once he has finished serving his life sentence.

[livius]

They have Carlos the Jackal. He got married in prison a couple of years ago (to his French leftist attorney, who converted to Islam to marry him), and has had visits from heads of state (Hugo Chavez, if you can call VZ a state anymore). In other words, life in a French prison ain't bad.

And, what's worse, I bet we let the French have him.

[expatguy]

Yes, and on what basis should he not be extradited to France.

He is after all a French citizen.

An American Expat in Southeast Asia

[trubluolyguy]

Le Monde reports today that French officials have contacted the US in hopes of transferring Moussaoui to France in order to serve his sentence

Hmmm, Frenchy gets Moussaoui back, terrorists threaten to blow up Eiffel Tower. Moussaoui released.


No thanks you cheese eating surrender monkeys.

[fhlh]

Memo to France: Piss Off!

[jiggyboy]

Even if we magically knew that they would intend to keep him locked up, France as we know it will officially cease to exist within 20 years, making it a moot point anyway. Moussaui would be sprung in a jailbreak or freed by the Head Imam Of The New Caliphate Of France.

[Ditto]

Only if they reopen Devil's Island.

[68skylark]

...on what basis should he not be extradited to France?

On the basis that we captured him fair and square, and we aren't going to give him to the French to be released in a few years. The French can pound sand.
