#1 So he gets to stay in a Swedish prison?

Send Taylor to the filthiest prison in Africa. Let him share a cell with ten other men, sleeping on a concrete floor, all fighting to use the single bucket in the corner that is the toilet.

Maybe then he will think about what he has done, all the children he kidnapped for his army, as soldiers and sex slaves, all those whose hands were cut off, who were forced to bash in the heads of their own parents.

#5 The ICC and other UN Tribunals cannot award the death penalty.

Maximum is a life sentence.

Yeah, in the courtroom, like Slobo.

#7 However, Swedens parliament is due to consider new legislation this summer that would enable the Scandinavian country to take in Taylor

sounds like he's not there...yet. He needs to fall down the stairs. Or use Benin Savan's elevator

#8 Yes John, you're right, unfortunately. Article 19 Article 8 seems a bit odd...
I can't blame the Swedes for not wanting him: I'm trying to imagine somebody offering us a maximum security prisoner to hang onto for life.
