      8 Years On, USS Cole Case Cold

      (Newser) - Eight years after the daring terrorist attack on the USS Cole, the men responsible for the bombing have all either escaped prison or been released—or are in Guantanamo Bay, outside the reach of US courts.

      Mexico Is No Longer Outlaw Central

      (Newser) - It's getting harder for US crooks to hide out in Mexico—as Cpl. Cesar Laurean would no doubt attest, Patrick J. Lyons blogs in the New York Times . In fact, Mexico and Washington have extradited dozens of suspects every year since an old treaty was improved in 1995.
