Subject: BS: Ken Clarke to destroy UK rule of law?
Well, the US has the National Defense Authorisation Act (a very good reason, it seems to me, why no-one should ever face extradition to the USA since the right to a fair trial is not respected), the Irish courts are considering a challenge at the highest level to the European arrest warrant (exposing for example Irish citizens to French courts where the presumption of innocence is NOT the same) and now Ken Clarke wants UK governments to be able to hide evidence of UK security wrongdoing as in cases of Binyam Mohamed and other illegal rendition and complicity in torture.
