UK Terr Suspects to be deported to US

Two terrorist suspects have lost their High Court battle to avoid extradition to the US. Lawyers for Haroon Rashid 'Purtymouth' Aswat and Babar Ahmad had argued there was "a real risk" the pair would be mistreated if sent to America. Dismissing their appeal, Lord Justice Laws said the allegation the US might violate undertakings given to the UK "would require proof of a quality entirely lacking here".
Proof? Good Islamist terrorists don't need proof! Sez so in their holy book, you could look it up.
Ahmad, a computer expert from Tooting, south London, is accused of running websites inciting murder and urging Muslims to fight a holy war and also to raise money for the Taliban. Aswat, a British man arrested in Africa, faces trial on charges of plotting to set up a camp in Bly, Oregon, to train fighters for war in Afghanistan. He has been fighting extradition to the US since being arrested in Zambia and held in the UK.

At a recent hearing, Edward Fitzgerald QC, appearing for both men, asked two senior judges to halt extradition, arguing there was a danger that their human rights would be abused.
These guys would have stuck up for Hitler...
... see the Saddam trial for a more recent example ...
This was despite diplomatic assurances from the US Government.
Glad to hear Purtymouth's world tour is back on schedule.. the States... then Cuba to conclude.
