Re the Natwest 3 they were extradited under the extradition act of 2003, which is applicatble for serious crime including fraud, a red herring in this argument.
Think you're misjudging the public sentiment, mentioning Chakrabati etc - take a look at the normally right leaning posters on this board, and even they are against this heavy handed legislation - if people genuinly thought it would be effective and not be abused in the future then you might find more support, but that's not the case I believe.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

One who has the will, want, and means to make and explode a terror bomb but has not yet had the opportunity.
You may have seen some of their brethren's work?The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

I think you will find many people on this board will disagree with anything the Government does, even if it makes sense and even if it makes them appear a 'leftie liberal'.

I don't trust the police not to get it wrong, in fact I almost expect them to get it wrong more than they get it right, and generally to use (And abuse) any legislation they have at their disposal. This is 6 weeks of detention, without charge - wrap it up how you like, but that's way too much and I've yet to see any compelling evidence as to why it's needed.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

Just exactly why is Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells concerned?
