Tom: you’re probably being a little paranoid. He’s physically in US custody, and I’m pretty sure that if he doesn’t get sent up the Euphrates for a minimum of 12,543 years in the Electric Chair, he’ll probably find himself facing charges in Kuwait, Israel, etc. Frankly, I can imagine the following conversation taking place…

RIIIIIIIIIIING!
American Diplomat: ”’Scuse me, judge… Hey – Benjamin! L’Chaim! Yeah, they’re about to set him free here… yeah, well if they do, he’ll be staying at the Baghdad Hilton, Room 1423.”
Judge: “Guilty… dang.”
