"the US should quietly accept the verdict of the foreign court?"
Good question but if the country does not have a history of human rights violations, I say, if the perp did the crime he must do the time. I recall caning in Singapore?
Course I remember the Singapore case. Those ever so enlightened Euroweenies have begun to make the claim that the death penalty is a violation of human rights. They've moved "beyond" due process. ::rollseyes:: I believe Canada takes that position too. I'm not sure whether or not Mexico has gone there yet. So, here we are, among all of the "knuckledraggers" on the issue of capital punishment. lol It is getting more difficult to get many other countries to honor our extradition orders.
We have *got* to dot all of our "i's" & cross all of our "t's" or else we will find little help trying to get treaties enforced when it is an American facing some kind of funky charges brought by another nation.
Fry them, but do it correctly.
