British Terrorist Conspirator, Abu "Captain Hook" Hamza, To Be Finally Extradited To US

He lost his final appeal, fighting this.

In order to get extradition at all, we had to agree to not slap him with the death penalty, but given the Obama Administration won't execute terrorists anyway (and our liberal judges find ways to rule it out), that's without any real effect.

Hamza, who lost both hands and an eye fighting the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, is charged in the US with 11 counts relating to the taking of 16 hostages in Yemen in 1998, advocating jihad in Afghanistan in 2001 and conspiring to establish a jihad training camp in Bly, Oregon in 2000–2001.

The American authorities first requested his extradition in 2004 but the process was almost immediately put on hold when Hamza was charged in the UK with 15 offences under the Terrorism Act, temporarily staying the US extradition process.
In 2006 he was found guilty on 11 charges, including inciting murder and race hate, and was jailed for seven years.

Meanwhile, Amy Bishop, once suspected of being a Tea Partier -- because she murdered a bunch of people, and that, you know, is sort of the Tea Party's schtick (or one day will be-- the media insists it is so), just got life in prison.

Thanks to @benk84 for that.

UPDATE [DiT]: a stroll down memory lane, British nurse gets paid $60k a year to wipe this ass-wipe's ass.
