This past week, I was writing a column about the DPW ports deal. While doing some Googling, I came across this tidbit from the Website of the US Department of Justice's Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development, Assistance and Training:

The Government of the UAE has formally stated that it will no longer provide judicial assistance in criminal matters, absent both extradition and mutual legal assistance treaties. Since March, the UAE has released seven U.S. fugitives. The UAE has not responded to a request for documentary evidence since 2003.
