Hmm... you mean the US government will have the best legal representation money can buy, and he'll get the crap normally reserved for your burgeoning underclass. Oh, and the jury -- a bunch of trailer-trash Yanks of average IQ who spend their evenings sipping bud whilst watching that Oprah woman or the ghastly Springer show. I bet over half of them won't even be intellectually capable of understanding what he's accused of.

Me? Stereotypes? Oh no... I tell it how it is, old chap. It's well known that you Yanks, statistically speaking, rarely stray out of the country. I could probably find a few figures to support my assertion over bud, Oprah and Springer, too, given some time!
