It could be similar to Europe, where a full investigation of the accident
cannot be completed without naming purported "perpetrators" and subjecting them
to a criminal investigation. The fact that the two pilots are named as
defendants does not preclude the naming of the air traffic controlers as well.

One possible weakness of such a method is that it puts a very strong emphasis
on the importance of human imperfections, while leaving little place for the
argument that a system design weakness may be equally to blame, if not more so.

I agree the US pilots would be crazy to EVER go back there - This would even
seem to be implicit in the fact that they were allowed to leave!!


Its not unheard of for U.S. Marshalls to arrest a U.S. citizen in the
U.S. to stand for a warrent in a foreign country....

U.S. treaties allow for foreign countries to issue arrest warrents for
U.S. citizens in the U.S..

Yes but a US court and the Secretary of State will decide in the bounty
hunter case if he is extradited. The same would happen in the case of
the pilots.

I would have as well. And it would take a US federal judge and the Sec State
to make me go back. I think that any US court would accept that that
agreement was given under duress.
