It gives you a warm glow to
know that you live in a country that believes in the principles of true justice and
will not send wrong doers to countries that use torture. As a result of this, Abu Qatada remains
amongst us, despite his history of incitement.
How strange therefore that we
are willing, some may say eager, to extradite to the USA (under legislation
which we were told was anti-terrorist legistration) Gary McKinnon for hacking
US military computers, looking for evidence of UFOs, and the Nat West Three for a
UK-based fraud. Let us remind ourselves that it is the same USA that gave us “water
boarding" and “extraordinary rendition”, or as they are otherwise known torture
and torture by proxy.
To have standards is good,
presumably to have double standards is twice as good!
