The United Kingdom may or may not be involved in secret negotiations with the Pakistani state over an an exchange of suspects which would see the main suspect in the plot to bomb trans-Atlantic flights, Rashid Rauf, returned to Britain. The trouble with the behind the scenes discussions is that the Pakistanis are asking for the transfer of up to eight people that they claim are involved in an uprising in the country's province of Baluchistan which is, surprise, surprise, rich in oil. One of those that the Pakistani's are seeking is Mehran Baluch of the Baluchistan Rights Movement. Mr. Baluchistan is a British passport holder and a human rights worker who often speaks before United Nations organisations on alleged human rights violations in Baluchistan.
But I reckon if one of our allies in the "War on Terra" says he's an evildoer then he is an evildoer damnit and there's not much else we can do other than turn him over. I am sure that the Foreign Office will ask the Pakistani government to torture him politely and in the best possible taste.
