I was surprised to hear someone talk about Bout's case as if it weren't highly unusual and wanted to know if you really believed it was. Yes
That’s a different question than how the Russians would treat it — they care about international law when it suits them.
And when it doesn’t, they throw it out the window. As they would if they were looking to get Bout back under this construct.
