Prof Patman, who is an international relations specialist based at the University of Otago, made the comment during a Global Insight interview on ODTtv today. Taylor has been in the Middle East with terrorist organisation Isis for five years. Prof Patman rejects calls to leave him to his own fate. New Zealand has international obligations to not let suspected terrorists who are New Zealand citizens go free. "We shouldn't be fudging the situation, which is what we doing at the moment,'' Prof Patman says.
