Because the 'race to the bottom' would denigrate the concept of justice worldwide. (See also 'Lowest common denominator'.)

He won't get prosecuted here because of the HRA handwringers and even if we did he'd get off with a slap on the wrist and a nice big benefits package.

If he 'got off' charges in the UK (presumably because he'd been found not guilty), why would he receive a "slap on the wrist"?

Sorry, could you rephrase that?

and yet they accepted our deal with them regarding his treatment was sound, deport him anyway imo.
The Strasbourg judges accepted that the UK's deal with Jordan over treatment of deported suspects was sound

How is he a human rights activist?  He is at the very least a criminal, evading justice. I think what was originally meant was '(human rights or democracy) activist or a refugee'.

Alan earlier indicated that he believes that the European Human Rights Convention and our Human Rights Act should ONLY apply to '(human rights or democracy) activist or a refugee'.
I disagree strongly.
Oh and he's only been found guilty (in absentia) by a Jordanian court on the evidence obtained by torture of his co-accused. No other country, including the UK, seem to want to give him a fair trial...

re: [Updated]Abu Qatada's deportation appeal REJECTED
I would have to agree with ceedee on this .We cannot in all conscience deport him based on evidence obtained by torture and knowing that in all likelyhood he will be tortured again It is the same as condoning torture and since part of the reason for going to Iraq and Afghanistan was to rid the world of regimes that use torture ,it would make that a waste of time and lives .I can understand that people want this odious man out of our country but we cannot pick and choose what basic rights people have .

I thought the US went to Iraq and Afghanistan to carry out torture that isn't allowed on their home soil?

Which version of human rights would sanction allowing a known terrorist to live in the country he hates and wants to harm ????
Send him home and let him ROT

It's OK, I doubt that Qatada is one for wearing make-up, although even if he did like to go around with a bit of blush on, I don't see what the problem is.
