This wouldn't happen in reverse. The US wouldn't send US citizens to stand trial here, in similar circumstances.

Having said that, in this case, the outcome of bad law is ok by me.
They are welcome to these arseholes. We should be offering them hundreds and thousands of similar.

The problem comes when they want someone who ISN'T like these aresholes.
Because nobody will ever get a fair trial in the US for anything feintly related to security, no matter how remote the link is.

That would be "hundreds and thousands", WB.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Problem is most countries don't have laws along the lines of plotting to blow up people abroad who aren't your own citizens as there are times when governments tend to do this sort of thing.

As far as I know its not a crime in the UK to conspire to assassination the American president through it obviously is in the US which makes extradition somewhat complicated
When only criminals carry guns the police know exactly who to shoot!
