The Bailing of Abu Qatada
In some ways this might be the best thing, as I suspect that it will be easier to monitor him outside of jail than inside it. I also think inside of jail, it will be easier to convert people to his stupid views. Various reports have shown that jails are a fertile recruiting ground for extremists of all kinds. And not just Islamic!
If we can’t pick up all conversations and communications, we aren’t as bright as we think we are. But he’s made some powerful enemies, who don’t have any qualms about killing who they want to.
And I don’t mean the US! They could get him to a US court very easily if they wanted to, because of Blair’s one-sided deal over extradition.
Our biggest problem, will probably be stopping someone killing him. After all, every right wing nutter might think, they could have their five minutes of fame. But then most of them aren’t that brave and don’t like the thought of life in jail. Indiscriminate car and parcel bombs are more their style rather than targeted assassinations.

Since the demise of la pauvre Diana the worlds nutters, led by Fayed, have persistently accused our security services of orchestrating, with split-second timing, the accident in which she died. So where are they when needed? They consistently let Uncle Bob Mugabe fly hither and yon when with the right equipment a six-year-old could make his aircraft disappear off the radar over darkest Africa. It’s not too late for a fall down the iron stairway in click.

A friend of mine had a similar accident to Diana in another Paris underpass. Those underpasses have columns in the middle and the oncoming lights, disoriented her perfectly drug and alcohol-free taxi-driver, who hit the middle.
