The NatWest Three

Three British men are fighting extradiction to the US, linked to the Enron scandal.
I don't think that this is getting the coverage that it should.

Nobody likes smart arsed businessmen, and my first reaction was not to care, but look closer.

They're accused of a crime which took place in Britain, on a British company, where all the witnesses are British.
Their treatment in the US would not be as lenient as here, and the sentence far more excessive.
The US is using 'terror' legislation to bully the world, and this government is not willing to stand up for this country's sovereignty.

It doesn't matter whether these guys are crooks or not, they should be subject to (and under the protection of) the British law, and no other.

I can't believe that we need to turn to Rees-Mogg to spell it out, but read about it here:
