The former Soviet air force officer is accused of running a high-tech illicit arms delivery service for despots and terrorists around the world. For two years, Moscow waged a sub rosa fight to prevent the Thai government from turning Bout over to U.S. justice. How he was apprehended in a Drug Enforcement Administration sting operation, was taken into custody and arrived here Tuesday night to face U.S. justice is more exciting than a John le Carre novel.
That does sound interesting. Did anyone hear even a peep about that in the news? I hope someone writes a book about it someday.
