I never thought I'd read this story. How many years to extradite him? Well, it's done -- now we should try to figure out how to avoid such delays in future.
Schreiber in German jail

Karlheinz Schreiber was taken to prison in Germany today. He was extradited from Canada yesterday after losing a decade-long court battle.
Schreiber, a former arms-industry lobbyist and key figure in a political financing scandal involving former German chancellor Helmut Kohl, landed in Munich around 9:30 a.m. local time and was taken to a jail in nearby Augsburg, where prosecutors accuse him of bribery and tax evasion.
Officials will read Schreiber the arrest warrant against him on Tuesday and then bring him before a judge, who will decide whether to keep him in custody pending formal charges, Augsburg state court spokesman Karl-Heinz Haeusler said.

Morton, with all due respect , we should just be happy he's gone.
With a Liberal government in power, he would have stayed in Canada for life.
Never to face justice.
