Chris Huhne MP, the Liberal Democrat Home Affairs spokesman, launched the Liberal Democrat party's Freedom Bill 2009 last week, and spoke about it at the Convention on Modern Liberties on Saturday.
They want to repeal or reform about 20 bits of repressive legislation, including:

CHAPTER 3
EXTRADITION
Designation of part 2 territories
3 Removal of the United States of America from part 2 territories
(1) In the list of territories in paragraph 3(2) of the Extradition Act 2003 (Designation of Part 2 Territories) Order 2003(S.I. 2003/3334) "the United States of America" is omitted.
Their explanatory notes

say:
[...]
The Liberal Democrats have consistently opposed the extradition arrangements with America. We spoke and voted against the orders implementing our end of the treaty in December 2003 (with Sir Menzies Campbell taking the highly unusual step of speaking at a committee of which he was not a member to highlight our opposition). In 2006, we tabled a bill to restore the need for prime facie evidence to be provided by US authorities when requesting extradition and later that year, we supported amendments to the Police and Justice Bill that would suspend our implementation of the Treaty. We did so because we believe the Extradition Act is manifestly unfair to British citizens, such as in the Gary McKinnon case.

This is how it should said and to be done:
"If Gary McKinnon is extradited and tried in America then he will be detained in a high security prison, even when only on remand. This is hardly appropriate or necessary for a vulnerable young man who has no malicious intent or previous conviction.
"The Home Secretary must stop sitting on her hands and insist that Mr McKinnon is tried in British courts."

Everything else is illegal.

I also fear that the Americans are currently trying to find me guilty of something to justify the way they treated me as an ordinary Green Card applicant...after screwing up my file for TWENTY years, I was then dragged to jail from my home, subject to soft torture for four months then dumped at Heathrow. Not given leave to sell my house, say goodbye to my family and friends, nothing. The US Immigration jails are currently full to the brim with proper green card applicants, you just dont hear their stories becuase their lives are shattered when and if they are released...if they are still alive. www.josieg6.wordpress.com
Here in UK British Govt has done NOTHING to assist me, I wonder waht is the great fear that the UK has in standing up to the American system nd how they have been treating british citizens. Now many have told me that if I speak out, 'it will be the worse for me' but stupidly I still beleive that if in 42 years I have never committed any crime, I shoudl be allowed to live my life freely in peace, as as a citizen of UK or a resident of USA, that free speech applies. But it does not; you are usually completely alone when up against a Govt machine.
www.josieg6.wordpress.com all true. I ahve already lost everything so it matters not that I speak out. Constantly.
