Natwest Three/Enron Case get stranger...

On the second point, what makes you think I care what legislation the Americans use - the old way would have been fine with me.

Only problem is, the old legislation no longer applies...or did you conveniently forget that little point boy?

Christ, you really are as fecking stupid as appearances would suggest. Does any of this debate sink in or is it all completely over your head?

snaw,

Mailman is probably a troll - it certainly behaves like one. It's not remotely interested in discussing it properly. It's only interest is in perpetuating pointless argument and wasting people's time.

Let's see ...

Mailman,

Others have repeatedly stated to you that new anti-terror legislation being used to extradite non terrorist crimes is quicker & more efficient than the previous extradition treaty, because no evidence against the accused is required inorder to extradite.

You disagree by saying

And those people are incorrect BECAUSE Uncle Sam still has to present proof that something naughty was done

and

I know this is probably difficult for you to understand but Uncle Sam cannot just turn up and demand for someone like Chico to be handed over...they still have to present evidence that something naughty was done. Probably a hard concept for you to understand BUT do at least try

It is you who so blatantly fails to understand the concept. No one particularly disputes a non terrorist crime was committed Mailman. You miss the point either deliberately or by folly (probably the former). The criticism is that the US under the new (1-sided) treaty does not require any evidence against the accused inorder to extradite the accused.

Bringing in sweeping powers under the label of emergency legislation to counter terrorism; and then arbitrarily applying that legislation to issues nothing to do with terrorism, is plain ugly, vicious and worrying for all of us as individuals.

You on the other hand would be perfectly happy to be extradited without a shred of evidence being produced against you.

The one of the other issues with this is that this treaty was signed without going through the House.

Why we could not have just used the new EU treaty is beyond me.

On a related note - why has that fella David Carruthers been arrested in the States? I read in the paper that his offence is 'committing an offence outside the USA which would be an offence if carried out in the USA'.

Surely that cannot be correct. Any thoughts amongst the highly intelligent on this board?

Do you have the link for that article, I find it hard to believe but then again nothing much surprises myself these days.

I will catch your reply later apparently just had a bell from some chap at the local Ministy of Truth, or was it the Ministry of Freedom ?

I dont know about you , it gets hard to keep track these days, what with this never ending paperwork and appointments at these Ministries, mind you Im not complaining , its my fault really, theyre just doing their job and they cant be too careful these days, I should really try harder I know,

Aat any rate he wants a quick chat at the Ministry of Thingy, well I have to bring along my Passport, musnt forget that !

Should just be a formality.

The problem is that he lives in Costa Rico and he was nabbed on route from London to Costa Rica at Dallas...
