Exactly Snafu.
What this doc did to the little girl (and apparently someone else) was horrible, but I don't know what else France could have done- other than ask.
Going in and forcibly taking him could have resulted in enough tension for WWIII.
Not sure this was worth it.
If someone commits a crime here in the states, and runs off to Canada or Mexico to escape punishment, those countries aren't under any obligation to extradite- that's how I understand it anyway.
I know some countries will completely refuse to extradite if the death penalty is being sought in a case.
