These extradition laws were passed in the UK on the grounds of the terrorism fears that were going around.
Blair’s willingness to allow the extradition to the US for non-trerrorism related activities has caused a significant dent in his personal credibility and was another major reason for his decision to step down from leadership of the Labour Party.
The UK press slaughtered Blair and Labour over this … but it is true – technically in the UK you can be extradited legally to the US even for activities that are legal in the UK.
