"Dog"?? The guy went to a foreign country and made the #1 mistake Americans make: Go to another country wearing the U.S. Constitution on your back. It doesn't work there. You go at your own risk and subject to the laws of that country. That was the advice we got when we were kids and would go to Mexico for less than honorable reasons. We were told if you get arrested, good luck. Stupidity is no reason for a pardon.

I don't see where the bounty hunter needs a pardon--or that Bush even could pardon anyone for criminal charges in another country, for that matter.

He just needs to tell the Mexicans to go pound sand as far as any extradition is concerned.

We've talked about this on the Dog threads. I agree completely.

He went to Mexico with the intention of knowingly violating its laws. If we ever want to start holding Mexicans responsible for breaking the laws in our country, we need to allow them to do the same.
