    Wave goodbye, someone's off on their hols

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7234072.stm

    Radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri, who is serving a seven-year sentence for inciting murder and racial hatred, has had his extradition to the US confirmed by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith.

    I hear Gauntanamo Bay is nice this time of year.

      Not sure whether to be sad or happy.

      Not sure I want justice handed out in Cuba but we didn't do very well here.

        Why on earth? I am not a friend of Abu Hamza by a long chalk: but he has never set foot in the USA; he's not committed any crimes on US soil, or directly against the USA; he's not a US citizen. He is not their problem.

        He has lived for years in the UK, has broken laws in the UK, is being punished for that in the UK, and should continue to be so. Afghanistan or Yemen have much stronger claims on him than the USA.

          "Hamza faces charges of conspiracy to take hostages and hostage-taking in connection with an attack in Yemen in December 1998. The hostage-taking resulted in the death of four hostages.

          Hamza is also charged with: conspiracy to provide and conceal material support to terrorists; and, providing and concealing material support and resources to terrorists and a foreign terrorist organisation, specifically to al-Qaeda.

          These charges are related to Hamza's alleged attempts in late 1999 and early 2000 to set up a training camp for violent jihad in Bly, Oregon. "

          He should have received life sentence as soon as it was proven that his public calls for murder were actually taken on board by people who did murder others - frankly if there was a cast iron guarantee that XRay will keep only people like him then I might have been allright with it.

                Early next week - needed to fix bugs found by users and make some improvements to reach some minimum "nice" quality level.
