U.S. denies murder extradition request from Panama, sends Noriega to France

From CNN:
Former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega arrived Tuesday morning in France -- where he was extradited to stand trial on charges that he laundered drug money.
So not only is it legal to invade a sovereign country to capture a criminal ("Watch out Switzerland, we're coming for Polanski!") and then hold him as a Prisoner Of War after his criminal sentence is complete, we can then choose to extradite him to a third country rather than back to the original country we invaded which has also filed extradition papers to try him on MURDER charges.

We're just completely full of shit, aren't we?

The next time you vote for a "Get tough on crime" politician, send this girl an apology. Another student put an Adderall pill in Rachael's hand, Rachael said "No" and gave it back, Rachael was suspended for 5 days. Thank god "zero tolerance" is protecting our innocent school schildren.
