Wiseman Jr. criticized government lawyers for being insufficiently inquisitive about the facts of the case but said their failings fell short of misconduct. In his report to the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, Wiseman recommended that the extradition be upheld because even if Demjanjuk was not at Treblinka, evidence indicated he was an agent of the SS nonetheless...

Egypt hanged seven of the sheik's followers last week for attacks against foreign tourists and conspiring to overthrow...
...ruling, the Supreme Court upheld a controversial practice of both the Bush and Clinton administrations -- picking up Haitian refugees in % international waters and returning them home. Only Harry Blackmun dissented from the court's reasoning that the pertinent U.S. laws and treaties, which require a hearing at which refugees can argue that they are fleeing political persecution, apply only to refugees who set foot on U.S. shores -- not those stopped...
