Bush, Bliar, and sleepless nights

[Will__]

As you will probably know, British Home Secretary David Blunkett last year signed into law an agreement with the USA that allows for any British person to be extradited to the USA if it so wishes, without ever having the right to appear in front of any British Court or undergo any legal procedure in Great Britain. And, needless to say, the arrangement is not reciprocal; indeed it is not constitutional under US law.
Is it just me that follows any prolonged though about the ramifications of this particular piece of New Labour stupidity with the mental equivalent of a juddering, heart-stopping shriek of furious moral indignance?
Let us cast aside for the moment any opinions of the USA's current leader, George 'Sauron' Bush, (since any sustained thought about his current position, without even considering the illegitimacy of it, casts for me serious doubts about the validity if the first monkey's decision to come down from the trees) and concentrate on the long term effects of being subject to another nation, especially when it is led by a group of war-mongering proto-fascists.
Why, why, why? How can any sane person defend this law. Or sign it for that matter? I have never broken any serious crime, either there or here, nor do I intend to so but the very fact that this piece of legislation exists still casues me lack of sleep.
Why did the normal bastions of unthinking right wingery, The Mail, or The Telegraph, normally the first to cry foul when there is ever any topic of Britishness under debate seemingly completely ignore this isssue?
This is wrong. In every way, under any inspection, for all people. Nobody else in Europe signed this.
Are we really allowing this small man and his mouthpiece Blunkett to flush away our right to a considered legal decision about having broken the law of another country? Generations of Britons are spinning in their graves.
Leave, Mr Bliar, and leave quickly. Opinions please.
Thanks
