Re: Getting Interesting now
but the NZ politicos are to blame. It is surely a judicial thing and nothing to do with politics. The US petition for extradition, surely there is an extradition treaty/agreement that will be passed to the courts. This is then challenged by the defence and that is that - the courts decide.
what happened in that the politicos had a chat with the US (who probably said, give us this person now, don't care how you do it) they tried, made a hash, became more public, people questioned how close is NZ to being told what to do by the US and now we have open court with probably all the underhand dealings being brought into the open.
It wouldn't surprise me to find out if the NZ politicos are stalling so that their political careers aren't brought to a halt after the case falls over completely (due to no NZ laws being broken therefore the fault will simply be the NZ officials trying to roughshod an extradition to their "friends").
