and so it s certainly in our interest to keep those countries interested in sending their citizens back to us to be prosecuted. the united states has some history there, but go ahead with the history. well, i mean, the history is that we have had two incidents since 1998 with italy where we have basically said no, we re not going to give you our citizens. one was when we had in 1998, a disaster air force pilot flew too low, clipped a wire and killed 20 people in a gond la. those vits were not sent back to italy. and individuals who worked for the cia convicted in italy, never sent back to stand trial or serve out a sentence. so there has been some history with the united states and italy that s not great from the italian perspective, surely upset about that. yeah. but it does give i think the knox folks some hope. and give me a quick assessment of public opinion and how much that sways the government in a case like this. sure. i think it would sway the government quite a

if we should pay a great deal of attention to him. i will jump in. it is one comment and one guy. i agree with you. as someone who covered clarence thomas hearings, he s tock a heat for a long time from the left. we just saw last week someone called him uncle tom and this guy is saying like a jew who invits hitler n. the vitriol for the only african-american justice. when he does anything that the left doesn t like is unseemly. there is a special level of antipathy that the left extends to blacks that are not liberals and clarence thomas is a leading figure in that regard. he s a member of the supreme court for goodness sake and has been there for a while and had real affect there and has a picturesque story and he gets
