Dear Tony Blair,

I wish to check that you are fully aware of the implications of your flagship extradition treaty with the USA, now that the US Congress and Senate have passed the Torture and Detention bill.

You, of course understand that under the terms of your extradition treaty, any UK citizen can be extradited to the US if the US government simply “requires” their presence. The person requested by the US would have no legal recourse in the UK to object to their extradition and once in the United States, the person would be treated under US law.

As you may be aware, the US is one of the few countries in the world, which now authorizes its agents to torture people. In addition, the US allows the indefinite detention of prisoners, whilst allowing such prisoners no opportunity to challenge their detention. Further, the US now allows for the trials of individuals who are not allowed to see or challenge the evidence arrayed against them.

The new US law is a breathtaking challenge to conventional wisdom on the rights of the individual, the basic rules of law and the authority of the state. Not since 1933 have we seen a government so blatantly disregard conventional wisdom and established precedents of Human Rights.

Mr. Blair, what were you thinking when you signed the extradition treaty with the US in 2003? Were you bent over your desk being rodgered by the US Ambassador? Were you sucking on George Bush’s cock? Were you thinking, they can’t be so bad? You TOTAL FUCKING IDIOT.

The US government thinks that drowning people is a smart way to get information from them. It happily sends its soldiers to death simply to save the President face. It puts Pedophiles in charge of congressional commissions to protect children from pedophiles. It is run by a group of congressmen and senators who would sell their souls to the devil for pocket change or a hooker and most importantly it is happy to sell out the constitution, the basis on which their government was founded if they thought they could marginally profit.

You have created an environment in which UK citizens can be exported to a country which has no credible legal system, a country which tortures people, without that person having the ability to challenge their extradition in a UK court. How exactly are you serving the UK public? I imagine that at some point you were an idealist and active supporter of human rights – how exactly did you end up as an enabler of George W Bush and his law which permits the torture of suspects detained without legal rights?

I hope you can sleep at night

AJ Bladderwait.
