#2 I don't think he'll get the blindfold treatment, but I don't think he'll be back in Manchester anytime soon once the tabloids get hold of the story.

#3 Under US law, his statements complete the requirements for Treason.
Does Britain still have the death penalty for Treason during war?

#6 Put him in a cell with Johnny Bin Walker. I am sure love will flourish. Of course Jack can't go back in Gen-pop because the other prisoners tried to kill him. Why aren't convicted felons more understanding and sensitive? With spring upon us we can be sure that Johnny will find a friend soon.

#7 Dishman, Treason's a capital offence in the UK. but somehow I don't think... I read on BBC earlier that the cowardly **** was "...being very arrogant and offensive, swearing at everyone". Unbelievable.

#9 There's a chance of this getting some tails in real knots over this guy, particularly if the Brits decide to fully prosecute.
