France May Seek Custody of Moussaoui
Convicted co-conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Now we hear the French may ask to have his sorry butt sent to France for holding. I know some would argue that we should quickly reject any request by the French government. I would consider the request for a couple reasons. Primary reason is if someone else wants to house and feed him for the rest of his life that's money we don't have to spend. Another idea would be to table their request until the next time France is refusing to extradite a fugitive from our justice system like they did with Ira Einhorn. Then you offer a trade as long as they make a commitment to never let him see the light of day again.
Trivia time: Does anyone remember which lousy attorney got Einhorn's bail reduced so he could run from justice and hide in France?

Bill, You can't trust the Europeans to do the right thing in connection with criminal justice.Seems to me it was just last year the Germans paroled a terrorist The U.S. had been asking to extridite for years.

You remember correctly. It was a terrorist who had brutally killed a Navy guy on a hijacked plane. There was speculation that the Germans traded the killer to get a German journalist being held in Iraq released.
