  • It's all very good all these MP's now at the 11 hour backing Gary's case for a UK trial and even though that list includes David Blunkett, I wonder if he feels any guilt over signing the one way treaty with the US when he was home secretary to allow extradition of ANY UK PERSON without knowing why.... in my opinion this is the reason UK don't need 42 day detentions as the US have it covered.

    If the UK don't stand up for each other they'll be no-one left to stand for you when you are seen as the next threat.     Posted by dafta, England
