#1 Mr Obasanjo has always refused to send Mr Taylor to Sierra Leone, saying he would only extradite him following a request from an elected Liberian leader.

Didn't Liberia just inaugurate a new lady president?

Heh.

#3 I can only make sense of this in one of three ways:
1) Ellen has reason to believe that Taylor is about to start something unpleasant, and wants to head it off.
2) Ellen thinks that Taylor's supporters are off-balance and won't be able to retaliate effectively. (Or maybe Taylor's party has a strong new leader and they won't care? It'd be news to me.)
3) Somebody is putting huge pressure on her and she doesn't think she has any choice.

If I were in her shoes I'd be really leary of having Taylor in the public eye again.
