Did they asked you take off your shoes, did they took your fingerprints or did
they kept your photograph?

But I DO understand Drew's first sentence. He means USA can ask for a man who
committed some crime in Pakistan AGAINST Pakistan (not USA). That is clearly
unjust and unacceptable. No reciprocal agreement contains such conditions. In
such case USA uses it's influence of being a Super Power. USA can threat an
entire
country just for one guy. E.g. Saddam & Iraq.
