quote:Iraq's Prime Minister has appealed to U.S. President George W. Bush to hand over Saddam Hussein's cousin, known as Chemical Ali, and two other former regime officials sentenced to hang for a 1980s crackdown against Kurds, two government officials said yesterday.
U.S. officials have refused to surrender the men.
Based on the Afghanistan/Bin Laden precedent of 2001, I guess this means the U.S. is fair game for an attack...

Hey, if the USA can blast Afghanistan into the Wooden Sticks Age because they allegedly refused to turn over Osama Bin Laden....

Hey! Get it right! The 2001 Taliban regime in Afghanistan foolishly demanded evidence before being willing to turn over bin Laden. That wasn't good enough for the U.S. regime.
Now, B-52 is President of Afghanistan. And bin Laden is nowhere to be found.
