Mildenhall, and the jets have been sat there for a few days now awaiting the end to the tedious legal stuff.
So no grandstand final media conference with his lawyers talking about the 'injustice' and 'oppression' and 'cruelty' of it. Probably just a flurry of a convoy of blacked out Chryslers leading the way. I wonder if there will be any kind of demonstration at the gates? drivin_me_nuts said:

Has anyone in America ever actually heard of him and does it even register on any of the American news networks ?
Here it is all over the news at every stage of the trial, I'm just wondering if this is just a complete non news event in the US, as the anti extradition lot are trying to make out that its another case of the UK bending over backwards to please the Americans.

I helped to re-nationalise the East Coach Franchise, but didn't do the West Coast one. Phew!
I worked as an associate (as did half the firm at the time) on the Railtrack privatisation (dealing with the BR debt), but it wasn't my fault! Haven't touched UK railways since.I helped to re-nationalise the East Coach Franchise, but didn't do the West Coast one. Phew!

Joking apart, the death penalty is not an option.
By the way, critics of UK-US extradition policy may be interested to learn that the US has not refused a single UK extradition request, but the UK has refused seven US requests, since the latest treaty was made.
So what? There have still been almost twice as many sent to the USA than to the UK in that time. By the way, critics of UK-US extradition policy may be interested to learn that the US has not refused a single UK extradition request, but the UK has refused seven US requests, since the latest treaty was made.
