BE ASSURED, SEEKERS OF HUMAN DECENCY – AT 8:40 A.M. ET:  In regard to the arrest in Europe of planners of manmade disasters, rest assured that they will not be manhandled, as they were under BUSH (!!).  Modern Europe, basking in socialist theory, knows how to protect the confused and misunderstood.  From London's Telegraph:

Human rights judges have ordered a halt to the extraditions of Babar Ahmad and radical preacher Abu Hamza, both wanted in the US on terror charges.

Huh?  Human rights judges?  Aren't all judges supposed to be concerned about human rights?  When you have special courts devoted to human rights, what do you think they'll find?  Why, human rights abuses.  That's what keeps them in business and their salaries paid.

The Strasbourg court said it wanted more time to examine possible human rights breaches if the men face trial on charges which could mean life sentences without parole.

I'll sleep more soundly knowing that terror suspects are so well protected.

Ahmad, a 36-year old computer expert, has been in a UK prison without trial for nearly six years, refused bail since his arrest in August 2004 on a US extradition warrant.

Radical preacher Hamza is also wanted on terror charges in the US.

Both appealed separately to the European Court of Human Rights on the grounds that their treatment and potential punishment could violate Human Rights Convention provisions on the ''prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment''.

Get this gem:

...there was a real risk that, in the case of "post-trial detention", Mr Ahmad, Mr Aswat and Mr Ahsan would be held at a "supermax" jail, - the US Penitentiary, Administrative Maximum, Florence, Colorado - known for short as "ADX Florence".

That raised concerns about breaches of Human Rights Code Article 3 on torture and inhuman or degrading treatment.

I wonder if these "human rights courts" ever show concern about dictatorships, or about the human eights of terror victims.  I think I know the answer.

Europe considers itself quite advanced in the "human rights" industry.  Actually, some of its governments, and much of its press, are major enablers of some of the worst regimes in the world.  It's the old European phoniness and hypocrisy.
