Tokyo, Japan, Mar. 15 (UPI) -- Tokyo has rejected former chess champion
Bobby Fischer's demand to be extradited to Iceland instead of the
United States.

Which is more likely...

- these guys don't know what 'extradite' means?

- or they just cut and paste what they're told to by CIA?

No application has ever been made to extradite Fischer from anywhere to
anywhere else. What he has so far been charged with by the US regime, is
not extraditable in Japan.

Japan's evidently stalling until extraditable charges are formalized.

Playing chess in Yugoslavia has never been
against the law in Japan. As for Iceland, well 'be extradited to' does
not mean the same as 'travel to'.

Oops, this article is in the 'Washington Times', not the 'Washington
Post'.

Although the Times lack the editorial standards of the Post, even the
Washington Times editor should be red faced.
