application of legal principle application of rudimentary legal principles in that this case will entitled mr burton pool finding that the indians government's evidence was inherently unreliable and the not establish probable cause some time to distill the evidence in this case which is hard to comprehend because of its weight but because of the government's action signature are not dated and there is no explanation as to why they aren't signed or not made in the one nine hundred ninety four submission apparently it appears that there was some sort of then the indian government turns around and terrorize the evidence they don't call them affidavits anymore they say these after these documents are statements that were either secured by a police officer  wholly unreliable in other words they were not only like a police officer showing up with an act with presenting something as an affidavit that police officer would have had a history of courtroom people our system that we have crowd course and we have appellate courts and the fact that a lower court judge may have erred does not insult his work does not mean that their work was not good so this just the will must certify that there is no limit on the number of times that the government can come back and seek extradition on the basis of stronger evidence we see it all the time absolutely on and that may be the indian were militants who went to the home town government counterinsurgency in the midst of this political uprising but i think the fact that i've been that i now believe is the factor that needs a little bit exploration is the character of the flooring in this case what we have is the government counterinsurgency they're not in bericht they're not somewhere outside of their home they're actually in their village and they're hope i don't want to call it collateral damage honor but i do i do think that in the context of this case you have to look at the character of the four and then also look at the nature of the victims who were carted or the object of the and we're not really looking at his alleged motive in this case we're just looking at the four factors on you're not you're not responding to my hypothetical i don't think when a person holds up a convenience store in order to get makes something that is not a pure political offense nevertheless a relative political offense the implication of my question is that relative political offense has to have kind of a nose get tourists ok relationship and the implication of your answer seems to be they don't have to have any relationship it can be any kind of crime as long as the purpose is to advance the political will no no it can't be any type of crime you have to again look at all of the factors and you have to seen what the alleged actions were of the person in question and you can things can happen during the course of an otherwise political offense a product of this crime if you look at what's happened there somebody once and for whom i shot a woman who was not a government official who is his name and then then the other militant he went to the other part of the home the parents remained with the relator i'm harmed and then and then it was later learn offense exceptional so for poor mrs power there he cannot be extradited even though she was an unfortunate side victim of the home invasion  never was a good war or a bad peace and this political offense exception unfortunately presumes that there is going to be an uncomfortable or unsettling context but that is the law the other trees out in it a political asylum and maybe that's a more progressive are the better way to do it but unfortunately in this treaty they have not done that there are other treaties that the court can look at also but in germany or spain i believe that we've entered that limit the we look at the treaty entered into between the united states in this case and india we look at the terminations whether or not there was probable cause that exist for the crimes that have been alleged to have committed we do not look at the ultimate issue of guilt or innocence with regards to the case it is a limited application is it limited scope the intent behind such such rationale is that this is an issue of dealing with foreign affairs with relationships between two governments this is not some sort of rubber stamp system where we just accept what the indian government says there is judicial review of this but that judicial review is limited the mr wants to have a full blown hearing with regards to the allegations of guilt and innocence and i'm only talking with regard to probable cause at this point in time and that is not the nature and scope of extradition proceedings when we look at the case here this case was quite extensive in terms of the nature and the scope that the district court got into in this case now the district court could have looked at the four corners of the extradition request and based upon that i think there is support found within this circuit and other circuits that that would have been a justifiable review by the district court however in this case with district court one step further the district court did allowing evidence with regard to mr sarah palin's allegations of fabrication which regards to torture and with regard to contradictory statements the district courts and carefully considered each of the cases and in three of the cases found that there was no probable cause that existed now i know that at the lower courts and as well as fat feet this court there was a statement that the government does not receive due to those type of work did not challenge those findings and i think as this court knows that the government has no vehicle by which to challenge the findings of the district court we do not have the ability to directly appeal the district court at the extradition stage we do not have the ability to file a writ of h corpus to challenge the district court's findings so for purposes of the court of appeals we are we are accepting as true to those allegations but we did not continue and that they are in fact accurate statement so i need to make that perfectly clear to this court that i must accept that there was no probable cause with regard to three we discussed and could across the field right now i could not have  i don't think that would i'm not sure that gets you at the see argument because you're you're you're you're getting sidetracked on other issues but i thought and raised and i'm not sure that in this context it would have mattered in terms of what we would have gotten out of that out of the ultimate and with regard to that i think we would have been back to having a hearing on the three remaining counts or depending upon the political offense but that's where i'd like to  that issue when clinton was never it was never pertinent to the case because in quinn the court says that this is not an uprising because the crime occurred outside of the country in which the uprising was alleged to have occurred in that case subjective mind of the person who is being extradited and it is their mode of attack none of this all of the arrival of the release factors don't apply they may have done a bad job they may have robbed the bank in order to get money it doesn't matter because they believe that it is consistent with their effort to further their uprising if sater in their war rebellion whatever and that's the problem with that analysis that civilians caught in the crossfire it may be bad judgment on the part of the of the rebels but nevertheless it is a it is a political offense exception and therefore an individual with similar treaties and we assume that the treaties have similar language and that's something that mr psychology does point out the treaties do have different aspects with regard to the political offense exception but many of the treaties do have this kind of language that exist in this one was saying no and i would say no because i don't think that the attacks on civilians should ever be recognized as a political offense exception and courts have seen to adopt that is appears to be a narrow application not applied to this kind of context ever evolving when the political offense exception started there's always been since the beginning of mankind atrocities difficult because i think that the political of cancer be an issue for the courts to look at in the context of direct actions directed against the state i realize that how do you define a sta population trying to protect themselves from genocide by making their area too hard for the government to control let's just say that hypothetically and let's say that we accept your interpretation so that the do not fall within the political fence exception there extraditable as far as the political fence exception goes i have two questions about whether such  rebels against government genocide could get protection one question is could the secretary decide not to honor the extradition request from the sudan in the second question is  or not they wish to to abide by the terms of the treaty second with regard to the asylum application that is a different area that maybe that is a much more expansive area not my area is not necessarily in the asylum context so i cannot speak specifically but my brief understanding of the asylum process is that that would be something that could be considered by the court with regard to specifically with the sudan with the genocide the muslims in the christians in terms of the rebel was being because of a religious or a ethical orientation with regard to that and then that would be the subject  asylum but asked whether or not assigned them would be granted i can't specifically answer that because i don't know they have a well founded fear on account of this yes i think it would be something there yes ye to why he committed these crimes the evidence just presented it's general information about encounter killings general information that individuals go into the home  i'm sorry that's not general information that is specific information that they went into the home to deal with counterinsurgency now but that but that miss quark this incident i mean she's almost most fair application of quinn first of all your honor that that the court's proffer as to what you think that they'd do the to kill the witness the witness wouldn't identify there were two other witnesses that were allowed to live and the overall conduct of this particular course of a transfer do we need to look at it with regard to the to the individual who was harmed the crime the murder because he has only been ordered extradited for that one murder in the rule speciality says he can only be charged with that one murder upon his return to india and i think you need to look at that individual charge to see whether or not that is the case and i think the court's question to me think one of the problems with this whole evidence jury issue that we got into was that the relator then brings in this evidence to the government it brings it in shortly before the extradition process what here's the evidence with regard to  set recantation contradictory kind of categorized and recantation contradictory concepts and i think that in that situation with the nature of extradition proceedings where we have a request from the sovereign sank these are the questions you know i can get up here and say that they were but i don't know that i don't know the requirements of how that is or what they have a motive against government now or what's going on but that's something the credibility determination is something make these make to look at this information if that's it then you're going to be adopting a good noble review that we say that's not that and we wait we would weigh it differently and i think that when looking at the district court's decision i think the district court carefully considered is the kind of nature of it's part and parcel part of the political offenses because what the indian government does is they then trump up these charges to what it does mit c n n we don't contend that that should be the analysis the analysis should be look at the request is there probable cause that exists there that this standard that has been given is no different i mean it is greater it's not as great as a clean area examination in the federal context but in the context of a criminal complaint which is based upon probably cause that's an agent the goes before a judge relied upon hearsay thank you thank you well aware of the history of this case and mr penn's qualification near qualification as a refugee so by eliminating the political offense in the manner that i believe the government is general i although we argued in our briefs i don't think that we have a strong argument on that issue so i will concede that but what i our position is the government is asking for an incident american
