Abu Qatada, supposedly Bin Laden's right hand man in Europe has been released on bail even though the judge claims he poses "a risk to national security".
Have I gone mad? Have we finally lost whatever little common sense we did have left? Are we going to let the European courts constantly interfere with our best interests?
This man is now using our weak Western criminal system against us. The same Western world he hates and plots against!
The courts won't allow him to be extradited to Jordan because he will face torture upon arrival. I'm sorry, a man who hates the West and poses a national security threat to us and we are worried about what happens to him? A man who may have been involved in terrorist attacks against the Western world in the past and may be in the future? What must our soldiers on the front line of Afghanistan think when they hear of stories like this? Why do we bothering probably.
And now this man who fights against western society is claiming U.K benefits for himself, his wife and his five kids. And while he is our guest the already overstretched and under paid police and security services are having to monitor him 24/7.
I for one think our involvement in the Middle East is a mistake. We're fighting a loosing battle and many of the people there don't want our help or our culture. But when we have one of our most dangerous enemies in custody and not only do we choose not to send him back home the government also seems content to fund his stay with our taxes.
Beyond me.
Am I the only one who thinks stuff him?
