I think Israel has extradite (is that the word I'm looking for?) agreements with the USA
extradition is the noun, extradite is the verb. But, many countries won't extradite if the US is going to ask for the death penalty for the crime. Something to keep in mind.

Somebody with actual knowledge to the rescue! Thanks, Vortex!
So, um, Jesse can only seek refuge here for the really serious stuff she's only been researching for her "novel", right? I'll only be able to help with the really big stuff? For anything else, there's also Dana, so she's covered.
[Edit: I told you guys about that one question in the USA-visa application form, inquiring whether I've ever committed genocide, right?]

Lucky Kat and family. I love seeing the lights at Griffith Park. We are going to try to go next week. I doubt I'll be up for much walking by then, but I figure we can wait and see and if worse comes to worse, I'll wait for the others.
Weekend has been busy, but good.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Is there any decent place to order flowers online? All of the big sites seem to have tons of negative reviews. Or should I just suck it up and try to order locally?
I've had consistently good-quality, long-lasting flowers from Teleflora.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
inquiring whether I've ever committed genocide, right?
They should inquire whether you've ever committed decimation.

Isn't the trick question whether you've stopped committing genocide?

Trick question!
Well, there was once this box of something-which-had-been-a-long-long-loooong-time-ago-probably-some-sort-of-food in the fridge, left by one of my former roommates, which I had to not only throw out but also pretty much bleach off in order to clear the smell and the greenish-grayish from everything involved. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that whole species (sp?) were prospering there, developing rich cultures (worshiping my former-roommate as their deity, of course, and her hand-writing on the note on the box as her indecipherable prophecies).
But this answer was too long for the checkbox next to the question, so I just marked it "no" (species-cide is not genocide, right? The fact that it's worse is just a problem for the person who phrased the question, no?)
[Edit: sorta x-post with tommy, who used much fewer words for the same purpose.]
[Another Edit: Hmm, brenda, I haven't thought about it this way!]
