Feeling kind of doubtful, The Crimson decided to do its own study (we guarantee ours is much more cost-efficient). After two minutes, 119,000 Google results, and zero dollars (if you don’t include the coffee that we’re drinking to curb our pangs of hunger), we stumbled upon the exact same answer...
...forces invaded in 2001. Even though he has renounced violence, Mohammed still denounces democracy as a "heresy." Now he must convince the man who has stolen his thunder - Maulana Fazlullah, whose forces control 80% of the area after a fierce two-year conflict with the Pakistani army that cost more than 1,500 lives - to lay down arms.

...have a roll-on effect on the other former Yukos executives, such as Svetlana Bakhmina, Vasily Aleksanyan, Lebedev and, of course, Khodorkovsky, all of whom had placed complaints with the European Court of Human Rights," says Claire Davidson, a spokeswoman for Yukos.

Besides the cost to U.S. taxpayers of prosecuting all those extraditados - which often involves transportation and housing for witnesses, hiring bilingual lawyers and translating paperwork - tens of thousands of dollars are also spent annually to incarcerate each foreign detainee.

But the kind of narco-terrorism that cost thousands of Colombian lives in that era, and which stemmed largely from the drug lords' determination to erase extradition from the law books, has since been reined in. As for deterrence, even supporters of extradition acknowledge that fallen drug bosses are simply replaced by their ambitious underlings. "We oversold it," concedes Myles Frechette, who as U.S. ambassador in the 1990s pressured Colombian officials to reinstate extradition after it had been banned by the 1991 Constitution...
