I've Been Thinking:England has been trying to deport an al Qaeda preacher named al Qatada to Jordan ever since 2001. The Brits have won all their court cases and Jordan is ready and willing to accept him.
Al Qatada was convicted in absentia for two terror attacks in Jordan. If returned, he would be retried. England has gotten absolute promises from Jordanian officials as high as King Abdallah that al Qatada would not be executed if convicted.
But now a court in England has said that those assurances are not believable.
In addition to his terror convictions in Jordan Al Qatada was also convicted of supporting terrorist activity in England. He would regularly preach about attacks and attacking.
When a country like England wins their case against someone like al Qatada they cannot simply expel him.
There needs to be a country to receive the expelled person. Without a country on the receiving end the expelled person remains in England.
That is the case with al Qatada. It looks like he will be remaining in England.
