His hosts, the Taliban, are distinctly unimpressed by the $5 million bounty offered by the U.S., and vowed Thursday that the terrorist mastermind wouldn't be extradited.

...sniper team, could not be questioned because he had been murdered, presumably to assure his silence. Trouble is, Eidson is very much alive; he denies any involvement in King's murder, and there is no evidence to dispute him. Then there is the man identified by Pepper as the mastermind of the plot. He turns out to be a retired auto worker in New York State; he also denies any wrongdoing, and there's no evidence against him either. There are many more examples of Pepper's recklessness, especially in Gerald Posner's new book on the King assassination, Killing...
