"I attended the meeting in the house of commons yesterday. The meeting was primarily about Babar Ahmad and he had many good supporters on his side.

George Galloway was there and was as eloquent as always.
One of the Enron 3 was there and his account of the American legal system was incredibly enlightening. He also pointed out that America never asked the UK for the extradition without Prima Facie evidence but the UK had apparently just decided to hand UK citizens over to to the US on this basis, something no other country in the world does apart from Ireland and France but he pointed out that France will never extradite a French national under those circumstances.

It seems that much of what the UK government is doing may be illegal.

The "treaty" has never been ratified by the US and the UK government's interpretation of the "treaty" is extremely dubious.
A judicial review of the present cases and a request to discharge the treaty seems to be the way forward and subsequently an amendment to the treaty in order to avoid the present misuse of the wording in it.

I'm glad I attended the meeting which although full and standing room only remained; it would have been good to see the meeting place overflowing into the streets.

I think the meeting room in the house of commons would have been overflowing if the G8 conference in Edinburgh hadn't been taking place in the same week. This unfortunately meant that the meeting wasn't covered on our Television news.

Hope they get their dates sorted out next time around as this was a serious error.

Glad George Galloway still managed to attend both.
The Enron website www.friendsextradited.org is also pretty informative.

Thank you to whoever runs this website for bringing such important matters to light.
