Extradition zombie  be43dotcom illegal extradition rights
Extradition zombie  So there I was, poised to write an article
about the illegal,frightening and shameful shift in the
international extraditionlaws over the last 15 years – a move
that potentially puts all ofus, everywhere, at risk of being
snatched away to some bananarepublic show trial, sorry, the
fairly-weighted andconstitutional process that is the US legal
system.How was I hoping to do this? Well, by comparing and
contrastingthe “good old days”, way back in the 1990s when MI5
whistleblower,David Shayler, was able to rely on evidence to
defeat anextradition attempt by the Brits from France, and the
currenttreatment being meted out in New Zealand to Kim Dotcom
ofMegaupload fame.How was I hoping to achieve this? By linking
to media reportsfrom the late 1999s describing the Shayler
extraditioncase.But can I find them in media archives? No – they
seem to havebeen airbrushed out of history. The closest I can
was a article I had copied to my own website
