Or a ruthless drug runner who cares only for her own personal profit and not the lives she takes or ruins with her product.
I don't think the UK government is going to "stand by feebly" if they've got proof that she's innocent. Which I'm sure they don't. The UK could bomb Laos, but that wouldn't be much different than the US invasion of Iraq except, you know, with a prettier face.
SF - this better be Helen of Troy that you're talking about here. I still think it's horrid that you'd sacrifice hundreds of Laotians who have nothing to do with the situation for a single British woman who might not be worth the trouble. Think about the price you're putting on her life - one Samantha Orobator = 50 Laotians? 100? 500?
