Bolivia Indicts Ex-President for Genocide

Bolivia has indicted its ex-President Sanchez de Lozada for genocide, apparently due to his responsbility for the deaths of some 60 Bolivians protesting plans to develop and export natural gas. Lozoda is apparently living in the U.S. but there seems no basis for the U.S. to reject extradition under this 1996 extradition treaty with Bolivia. If these charges are for real, perhaps Illinois Wesleyan University will retract the honorary degree they conferred on Sanchez de Lozada?
