...Ames case, the government squeezed a guilty plea from him by promising to drop charges against his wife. It's not clear what comparable leverage it has against Nicholson, except to offer reduced charges in return for a confession.

No documentation other than who was a survivor and who is in need would be required. Until this situation is resolved, people should treat Switzerland the same way they do Libya, Iran or any other outlaw nation. BILL CASELLO Ann Arbor, Michigan...
