#1 I suspect the Brits will whack these nine about as thoroughly as we would.

I wouldn't bank on it. Sentences will be shorter, death won't be an option, and imprisonment conditions, if those of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber convicted of the murder of 270 people, are an indicator, will be nothing short of disgraceful.

#2 ``Whatever has come before, we now have only two options: To keep our word or to break our word.

Great speech, but why does he make the choice so easy for Chirac?

#3 If Europe can't or won't, then there's no reason to sweat it - the U.S. will do all the lifting. Of course that means that the U.S. has the final word on what goes on there, but then there's no reason for anyone to have a say in something they have no investment in.

Right?

#4 I don't have a problem with giving these guys back to the Brits as long as the perps understand that the US has their DNA samples and fingerprints and if they are ever found in a war zone fighting against us or in the US at all, their lives are forfeit.
