Just to clarify, I was speaking about extradition with the Netherlands. I'm not entirely familiar with our extradition treaty with Peru. I know we have one, but I believe it's fairly young. Extradition with SA countries tends to be a nightmare.
And, it's the DOJ, specifically the DOJ's Criminal Division's Office of International Affairs, that effects extradition from foreign countries, not the FBI, per se. This is the division that prepares the paperwork, submits the formal request and request provisional arrest for the suspect, if warranted.
Again, this is why Holder's fingerprints are all over this. While there are a lot of career DOJ lawyers in these offices, it's a political appointee that runs them. This is Obama's problem, all the way.
Thanks SO much for the explanation, I didn’t know whether the State Dept. or the Justice Dept. was in charge of this, I simply was certain that it wasn’t the FBI agents in Birmingham, Alabama.....
