I, along with the rest of my fellow citizens are intrigued by the case of Abu Qatada whom our Government say is a terrorist, a trainer of terrorists and a disciple of the late Asama bin Ladin the most famous of all terrorists. They would like to return him to Jordan as he holds a Jordanian passport declaring he is a citizen of that country. Most people, when they go to live in another country become unsettled from time to time - it is called homesickness.
Not so this family, the UK Government have already spent nearly 1 million pounds keeping he and his family and they now want rid of them - enough is enough they say. Lawyers don't agree as they have already made fortunes fighting his weak case against deportment and see a chance for earning a great deal more as they involve the European Court. It will take brains much larger than mine to sort out all the pros and cons of this case. Flights for he and his extended family are already booked and free but they don't intend to use them. I really can't see us ever getting rid of him as there is no one brave enough to make a final decision.
Ironically this man was born in Bethlehem - now who else do we know who was born there?
