ORIGINAL: honeygirl I don't get it -- what question is a fair question? Sanity's rather odd post did not have a question, implicit or tacit, from what I could read. I don't understand what is a fair point, either. Do you mean that Sanity's post that *seems* to imply that Obama will have some say in the proceedings is fair? Admittedly, I could be misinterpreting what he wrote since it seemed quite unrelated to the topic at hand! quote:
ORIGINAL: TheHeretic Given the TOS around here, Tazzy, Sanity's angle might be in the best interest for the long-term health of the thread. Plus, it's a fair point, and a fair question. 9-15.210 Role of the Office of International Affairs The Office of International Affairs (OIA) provides information and advice to Federal and State prosecutors about the procedure for requesting extradition from abroad. OIA also advises and provides support to Federal prosecutors handling foreign extradition requests for fugitives found in the United States. Every formal request for international extradition based on Federal criminal charges must be reviewed and approved by OIA. At the request of the Department of State, formal requests based on State charges are also reviewed by OIA before submission to the Department of State. Acting either directly or through the Department of State, OIA initiates all requests for provisional arrest of fugitives pursuant to extradition treaties. Neither prosecutors nor agents are permitted to contact their foreign counterparts to request the arrest of a fugitive for extradition. Unauthorized requests cause serious diplomatic difficulties and may subject the requester to financial liability or other sanctions. Every extradition treaty is negotiated separately, and each contains different provisions. Experience with one treaty is not a guide to all others. Therefore, after reviewing this section of the United States Attorneys' Manual, the first step in any extradition case should be to contact OIA. Attorneys in OIA will advise prosecutors about the potential for extradition in a given case and the steps to be followed.
