Shocking! It’s simply shocking that a man who drugged, raped and sodomized a thirteen-year-old little girl—a man who plead guilty to statuary rape and was submitted for psychological evaluation for 43 days before sentencing—the man, Roman Polanski would be arrested in Switzerland on a U.S. warrant and is scheduled to be returned to the United States for his crimes of rape and fleeing sentencing. (see story)
There are a lot of things going on between Switzerland and the U.S. right now and for the first time in history under Obama the U.S. is pressuring Swiss government to release information on secret banking accounts held there. But that’s another story. (see here and here)
Polanski, before his sentencing date fled the United States and has been a fugitive from the law and justice for 32 years but as a result of the new international cooperation that Barack Obama has ushered in we fellow citizens of the world can be arrested internationally and brought back to the United States of America or for that matter any venue of international cooperation to received the justice that we deserve or as in Polanski’s case to receive the sentencing that he skipped out on. We truly live in a world without borders. Isn’t international cooperation just great!

"Pled" guilty. "Statutory" rape.
I don't think that's accurate. I think we've been getting "secret account" information from the Swiss banks for years.
(Beware of the Spell Checker!)
cite please!
I’m content to sit and watch you two fight it out. I’m a little busy, feeding the hands of industry.
I believe in “Credit where credit is due,” but I have a hard time believing any credit redounds to Obama for this in the least. Just my opinion, so no cites. Sorry.
email me if you’re interested in the job.
Thanks. It is true, but I am sure an intelligent author such as yourself could have come up with some less vulgar way to dismiss people whose opinion you don’t share.
Regardless, it gives me a name of somebody to steer past when I see a thread designed to drive traffic to his/her personal blog....and I sincerely thank you for that.
The IRS lays out its steps here:

The item you’re referring to is third from the top in this list, which as you can see goes back for quite a while. If you’re not a lawyer, your error is entirely excusable: frequently, when the government is investigating someone or some entity, they will approach the target and reach an agreement on remedy, and then file both the case itself and the resolution at the same time — or in this instance, an agreement to defer prosecution, which means that as long as the entity cooperates it won’t get indicted.
