You will find that inObu and I debated for some time on another thread some years ago about the political status for the purposes of American law of those from the Republic of Ireland who had killed in Northern Ireland, and whether they were extraditable. If I paraphrase him correctly, US law found them to have that status and so that they were not extraditable.

Now should that be so if the legal system of their place of origin has found all killing (including legal judicial and by necessary implcation other political) to be unlawful?
