Not too many others I give a shit about. Soderbergh hasn't put out anything I consider watchable in years. & Woody Allen is just a fucking prick.

Aren't all laws based on morals? So I would assume the people who signed this treaty wouldn't sign anything calling Bush/Cheney war criminals because war might not be moral wrong to some people.
For that matter no law can exists because they are all based on what we think is right or wrong.
I am surprised that this seems to be going the way the US Justice Dept. wants it to. I just felt that there would be such an outcry from the psychos that Obama or someone in the US wouldn't want the bad pub and would just say "It was 30 years ago lets just be done with it."
I still would not be shocked at all if he did no time in the US or at all but him going to prison seems much more likely to me then it did in the past.

If were we going after him half-assed, we wouldn't be going after him. I'm still kind of surprised that it was apparently only recently we could confirm his whereabouts when he was out of <s>Pedo Haven</s> France.

According to the article linked here, people in Hollywood, France, and the liberal MSM are realizing just how unpopular support for Polanski is with the rest of the planet.
No way does Obama step up to pardon him unless it's a midnight pardon (end of term). Him releasing a child molester before re-election essentially loses the election for him and he knows that. So do the other liberal politicians.
And Woody Allen?!? HA!!! Raise your hand if you're shocked that one child molester is defending another.

Has anyone seen a time table as to when we will know what is happening either way? I have seen that his appeal will take weeks but is that 2 or 12? Are there other appeals in Switzerland after that? Do the Swiss have to decide if they are sending him to the US and then he appeals?

There's a set period of time where we have to request his extradition. Probably 30-60 days. I'm sure some appeals could stall this shyte for quite some time, though.

Mr Mitterrand, 62, nephew of former president Francois Mitterrand, revealed he had hired 'young boys' for sex in Thailand in his autobiography four years ago.
The Bad Life by Frederic Mitterrand
Mitterrand's 2005 book 'The Bad Life' has caused controversy only since the minister's defence of Roman Polanski
He wrote: 'The profusion of very attractive and immediately available young boys puts me in a state of desire that I no longer need to hinder nor hide... as I know that I will not be refused.
'I got into the habit of paying for boys. All these rituals of the market for youths, the slave market, excite me enormously.'
But political opponents on the Left and far Right have seized afresh on his revelations after he publicly defended Oscar-winning film director Roman Polanski, arrested last month on charges of sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977.
The ensuing storm has led to calls for Mr Sarkozy to sack Mr Mitterrand from his conservative UMP party.
Socialist Arnaud Montebourg said yesterday: 'It is impossible that a minister representing France can encourage violation of his own international commitments to fight sexual tourism.' Mr Mitterrand said earlier this week that he is not a paedophile and uses the term 'boys' loosely.
Last night the openly gay minister told viewers of France's TF1 TV channel: 'It was an error yes, but not a crime, not even a serious mistake.
'Let anyone who has not committed this kind of mistake cast the first stone - among all the people watching this tonight, who among them has not done something like this at least once?'
I'm guessing most people haven't gone overseas to sleep with little boys.

Ms. Widmer-Schlumpf said the American authorities had rejected a request by her ministry for records of a hearing by the prosecutor in the case, Roger Gunson, in January 2010, which should have established whether the judge who tried the case in 1977 had assured Mr. Polanski that time he spent in a psychiatric unit would constitute the whole of the period of imprisonment he would serve.
