With any luck, something will stick to him this time about the first murder, at which point I would think he might be extradited back to Aruba after serving his sentence in Peru. Hopefully he’ll do time there, too. But Aruba is Dutch, and we all know how harsh the Dutch are. Not.

Of course, the international community harangues them about it, similar to the way in which they berate us for allowing states to make their own decisions about the death penalty (within tight parameters).

Peruvian prisons are a horrid place to spend 35 years.

So is a barrel on the bottom of the Atlantic ocean.

Naw, nothing to see here, pay no attention to those big pink colored links at the top of the page. All of us here just want to congratulate Reuters on their excellant and unbiased reporting concerning the Israeli response to the bloackade runners, right guys? *crickets*

But they said they were “Fair and balanced” or something like that anyway…*more crickets*

Uhh, Reuters I’m guessing you have earned a place in the dog house for a while again. Sucks to be you, but then again you seem to have earned it by seemingly taking the wrong side here and obscuring the facts.
