UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Several U.N. Security Council nations expressed misgivings about a draft resolution introduced by Russia on Monday that would create a new blacklist of terrorist suspects subject to extradition.

The resolution seeks to speed the handover of people accused of abusing their status as political refugees to organize or finance terrorist acts.

It recommends compiling a consolidated U.N. list of individuals, groups and entities involved in terrorism, who would be subject to an assets freeze, an arms embargo and ``expedited extradition.''

The measure also attempts to define terrorism, which the 191-member Assembly has been unable to do for years, holding up a treaty on the subject.

Poor Russians. They never really got to taste freedom.

At least we got to, before the Busheviks dried it all up.
