#2 Britain has failed to extradite a major terrorist suspect since the September 11 attacks. Legal battles have cost the taxpayer an estimated Â£10 million.

Bungled is probably not the word for this situation.

#3 *snicker* Mr Farajâs lawyers will fight any attempt to deport him to Libya, claiming that he would face torture.

Ahhh...that's too bad.

#4 The restrictions on where people are deported because other nations have different laws - how long has this been an accepted "international norm"? Can anyone say?

I don't recall hearing this in "the good old days" (lol) before Europe was actually allied with the US.

It's a rather remarkable notion, when you ponder it, that defies sovereignty - and seems bizarre / PC amok, especially among "allied" democracies.

Just wondering if anyone can shed light on when this began...

#6 I put this all down to Socialist individuals with ine the Home Office that refuse to extradite regardless of the facts.

This is why the Law nad Order apporoach to Terrorists can't and will not work. This is a war. Wars do not slow down for the molasified wheels of justice to turn.
