Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

It'd be nice to know who they wanted to exchange. Bout, for example, wasn't actually arrested here.
He was arrested as part of a US sting operation and tried in the US. Not sure place of arrest would make a difference to the Russians here.
You're kidding, right? You honestly think that's treated as a normal assertion of sovereign jurisdiction by other countries, esp RU? Really?
If, as you posited, they were to have use this construct as an attempt to get him back, then yes, because getting him back is a priority.
No. I posited that almost anyone who observed that case from a non-jingoistic view recognized it (and similar EDNY cases) as aggressive.
Didn’t get that, thought you were asking a straight-up question.
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.
I am happy the #USA care always about international law.

No no no. That's all the way over in Iraq, which could have nothing to do with Syria.
