Many conservative Americans say the same things about our courts. What makes you believe the American Judicial system is any more fierce than yours, Oscar?

Depending on what state he lands In and Is tried In.... he could face the death penalty... we can't do that here.

I believe he'd be subject to our federal court system, or even perhaps a special court for terrorists, if any court at all for that matter. Our government might just throw him in Gitmo for a few decades without any trials at all.

I'd prefer innocent until proven guilty though, even for suspected terrorists. Which means I'd prefer he have access to our court system to it's fullest measure.

That doesn't mean he's guilty of any crimes here. We're not going to adjudicate UK charges. The only reason for extradition is so he can stand trial for crimes against the US, not the UK. The article you linked refers to him as an "alleged terrorist".

Yes, he has to stand trial In the USA.

The case against Abu Hamza Is substantial..... he's the main man America want. He faces 11 allegations Including trying to set up a terrorism training camp In Oregon. He Is also alleged to have assisted In hostage taking in Yemen, an Incident In which Western tourists died.

Two of the other five are Saudi Arabian-born Khaled al-Fawwaz and Egyptian Adel Abdul Bary. They are accused of being key aides to Osama bin Laden In London. They allegedly played roles In the 1998 US embassy bombings in East Africa, In which more than 200 people were killed and thousands Injured.

So he can meet his 72 Virgins ASAP.

After all, we are a kind and considerate nation.

That's different. The guy was sick and required some fairly extensive medical care. They didn't want to end up working to keep the bugger alive, just so they could keep him in prison.

I do not think he should have been released. It took him years to die, & he did so in the loving company of friends & family. Unlike the victims of Lockerbie. A sentence is a sentence unless there is a new trial. And, of course those rumors of oil deals..........

BBC News - Abu Hamza: High Court judge halts extradition to the US I'm not surprised his lawyers have made one last ditch attempt. Myself, I think It won't wash If the European Courts have already ruled.

America want him bad and won't give up.... any one with any links to Bin Laden and 9/11 Is wanted In the USA to stand trial and In this case, I must agree with the USA.

He might come up with a few illnesses. That's always a good staller. Any chance that we might send his sons with him. They are a complete waste of good air. Criminals most of them

He Is not a suspect... he Is a convicted terrorist.


Convicted yes, but was this done by a jury of his piers? I have no love for this guy but justice has no meaning if it is not equal. I want G Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Darth Cheney next to this guy in the docket. Along with a few others. What has been done by many Americans over many years to the people of the Arab world is part of the reason we are here now.
