It was completely mangled. The world was standing
up to the communist Milosevic (a mini-Stalin, killing by the
thousands rather than the millions).

Typical Parr blather, said without a shred of evidence.
John Walker Lindh was charged with violating
an Executive order (trading with the Taliban) and
didn't raise constitutional issues. Many sanctions
violators have been convicted.

The legal issue was simply that
the US extradition treaty with Japan did
not cover the crime Fischer was indicted
for, so he could not be extradited. The
US apparently did try alternate approaches
to convince the Japanese to turn him over,
but they were unsuccessful.

It's likely that tax evasion charges would have been
added - quite appropriately.
