Ah, that "Special Relationship"
Yes, that legal precedent helps secure public support for the Anglo-American relationship. Let alone an amazing extradition agreement between the UK and USA, which is much criticised here, primarily as introduced post-9/11 and yet to be used for such a case. Ever more extra-ordinary when one recalls the US reluctance, nay refusal to extradite to the UK persons suspected to be involved in terrorism in Northern Ireland.
Such legal arrogance now is amazing and only helps our common enemy.

Extraordinary rendition @ Milan: an update
The Milan incident, a CIA kidnapping has slowly moved through the Portuguese courts and now:
Quote:
A former undercover CIA officer is to be extradited to
Italy following her conviction over the 2003 extraordinary rendition of a terror suspect to Egypt. Sabrina De Sousa, a dual US and Portuguese citizen, was arrested in Portugal last October and has since
lost three appeals against being handed over to Italian authorities. Her extradition is scheduled for 4 May.

Incidentally Sabrina De Sousa is the person cited as being interviewed in the previous post.
