MPs have called for the extradition of Abu Hamza to be halted on human rights grounds.
Hamza is due to be extradited to the US to face charges of terrorism. Another, Babar Ahmad, is accused of raising money for the Taliban.
However, the CIA has admitted that it “tortures” terror suspects, and this is the reason for the attempt to halt extraditions to the US. The CIA admitted waterboarding three terror detainees, and the UK ministers say this amounts to torture. The UK has signed up to a UN convention banning the return of individuals to countries where they face risk of torture.
It is time that those who run this country put the rights of law abiding citizens first. We should have the right to travel on public transport without the risk of being blown up in the name of religion. Those who support, carry out and condone terrorism should be stripped of all rights instead of being given more protection than the rest of us.

Head teacher forced to apologise over Muslim comments
The head teacher of Kerr Mackie Primary in Roundhay, Leeds, was forced to apologise after he made comments about Muslims and bombs whilst defusing a playground argument between four Muslim pupils.
Jon Farley will now undergo “race equality training”, education chiefs have confirmed.
Mr Farley was told to “watch his words” after making the comments.
The family of the children concerned even complained to police, who investigated the matter. They recommended mediation, which the family have refused.
It’s amazing how police were able to respond to such a trivial matter, when one considers that they rarely respond to 999 emergency calls!
And will those Muslims who routinely say bad things against non-Muslims be forced to undergo “equality training”? Don’t hold your breath!
