        not for a while I suspect, I imagine he will get a nice clean luxurious cell while the cameras roll but I think in a year or two they may take him to Cuba to work on his tan.

          Didn't Jordan want him extradited there as well?

          Was that the case where the European Court of Human Rights prevented it because past evidence against him might have been obtained with torture or some such?

          Could the US extradite him to Jordan when they have finished with him?

            Why? Had he had his hooks on Harvey?

                I think there's a clear case for Abu Hamza to be extradited, but to be honest I think Babar Ahmad has been treated very badly by his country. Being extradited to the US merely for running a website that the Americans didn't like? If the content of that UK-managed site wasn't sufficient for him to have been prosecuted in UK Courts, then it shouldn't have been strong enough for him to be extradited to face poor parody of a justice system that exists in the US.

                  I believe his site was hosted in the states. I am not too sure he knew it was hosted in the states, but that's what I have been told.

                    Some of the live tweets on the BBC homepage on this topic are hilarious - looks like they came from the authors of the sites that got him into trouble in the first place!
                    We don't have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it.
