We have lots of greedy businessmen, bankers here in Britain , can't you yanks extradite a few more. Give him 35 years.
Originally posted by kaminskyAnd the autistic guy they want extradited for hacking into their computer system that's okay to is it? and so we can extradite any american that sells arms to anyone and russia can extradite the israeli arms sellers and vice versa if your talking about a ban on all international arms sales; great, but every arms dealer is a greedy businessman/woman, it is not a sector that charities usually get involved with.
you can get four years for inciting rioting on facebook, enabling missle systems that blow people to bits seems to me to deserve a an appropriate penalty. Im glad the yanks have got him , he would get knighthood over here.
Originally posted by kaminskyWell that's just me too, but given that is not the case I am more concerned/confused as to why a British citizen is being extradited to the U.S for a crime that was not committed on U.S soil or in any way impacted on U.S citizens.
personaly I would jail all arms dealers, but thats just me .
The FBI gave Tappin two chances to withdraw from the deal , but he was insistent it went ahead, the evidence against him is compelling. A British judge examined the claims of entrapment and found no evidence ,infact quite the opposite. Tappins last statement as he boarded the plane, was that he was going to show the Americans some class ,nice fella eh.
