nobody could say that it was a skewed decision that nobody could say that the americans paid the toys everybody could say it was one for blood what would for the americans except that the appeals court decision was the final decision because unfortunately in thailand there is no appeal to the supreme court as far as the form of. and brian johnson thomas former arms trafficking expert from the u.n. security council thinks that eventually whether it's fair or not victor boot will be extradited to the u.s. . are not quite the americans have fought this case. maybe just about the money they spent on this thing operation but certainly the very very keen to get back to the states. the consequences that will follow i think the two point one is that the reason why they dropped the money laundering charges may be that they can cultured for a. sting operation. is alleged to have agreed to supply weapons to the full. court
