Interesting that Congressman Lantos is a California Representative.

Isn't that where the Kalpoe v McGraw, Skeeters, Paramount et. al. Civil Suit was Filed.

I sense an extradition order coming.

BETTER GET THAT LUGGAGE PACKED.

Zoltano, I hope you're right and they bring the jackasses here to the States. It will take the onus off the Dutch, who seem to fear justice. God bless them if Chavez invades their island hideaway, they'll need the help of countries with real balls.
