Jim, "Have you ever heard of Extradition Treaties? Do IRAQ and US have one? If no such treaty exists it would be illegal to send him back." You guys get more amazing with every post!! Do any of you do any research at all before spout you off here? It took me less that ten minutes to find these two links. The first link lists all the countries that the US has extradition treaties with. Iraq is among them. The list is in alphabetical order. You'll find Iraq on or about page 17. uncjin.org The next link is a recent article about Italy's plans to extradite Abu Abbas now that he has been caught. I print it below for those racist demagogues who barely know how to click a mouse much less think for themselves. truthnews.net Iraq: Italy Seeks Extradition After Abu Abbas Seized In Baghdad International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, April 16, 2003 Italy is to begin extradition proceedings against Abu Abbas, the leader of the Palestinian group that killed a disabled American Jew during the 1985 hijacking of an Italian cruise liner, after he was seized in Baghdad by US special forces Monday. The capture of Abbas during a Monday night raid on the outskirts of the capital, was first reported by CNN Tuesday. It came after raids across the city, seizing documents, weapons and detaining associates. Abu Abbas, the nomme du guerre of Mohammed Abbas, led a faction of the Palestine Liberation Front, an Iraqi-sponsored terrorist splinter group, which the US listed as evidence of Saddam Hussein's involvement in global terror. Abbas had eluded arrest since the Italian cruise liner, Achille Lauro, was hijacked as it sailed from Egypt to Israel in October 1985. Elderly American Leon Klinghoffer was shot in his wheelchair and tossed overboard, before the hijackers surrendered to Egyptian authorities. After Egypt put them on a plane to Tunisia, US fighters intercepted the plane and forced it to land in Sicily. But Italy initially allowed Abbas to leave, saying it had insufficient evidence to hold him. An Italian court later sentenced the perpetrators to prison and Abbas was convicted in absentia of masterminding the operation. Abbas also is accused of organizing the gang of terrorists that attempted to launch a killing spree against Israelis on Tel Aviv beaches in 1990. In the event, the gang was intercepted by IDF forces who killed four and captured seven. Those captured confessed that their mission was to carry out a massacre in Tel Aviv's beachfront hotels. Meanwhile, Palestinian Authority spokesperson, Saeb Erekat accused America on Wednesday of violating the now defunct Oslo peace accords by seizing Abbas, arguing that he is accused of terrorist acts committed prior to the Oslo amnesty. In post-September 11th America, it is unlikely the Bush administration will take such objections seriously.

re: Have you ever heard of Extradition Treaties? it seems that you on a side of murderers now. Of course you can not call killing a jew a murder, right? You would call service for humankind, right? But if we are to stick to the law, US can bring him back to Iraq and do whatever they please since he would not be protected neither by US laws nor by Iraq nor by International laws. Would be good if they would kill him slowly extending the pleasure over few weeks or so.....
