The Court of Appeal has allowed an appeal against deportation by abu Qatada, described as the spiritual leader of al Qaeda and a 'right hand man' of Osama bin Laden. He was to be deported to Jordan, where he has been convicted in his absence. The appeal was allowed because the judges thought that evidence had been obtained under torture abroad and he would be tortured abroad if deported. They allowed appeals by two other terrorist suspects too, on similar grounds
Does that sound the kind of thing that the Bush administration would approve of?
