...and again

Another to add to the list of those likely to be deported to the US to face charges of doing something over which they have not been charged here.  Chris Tappin is now retired, but ran a haulage company, transporting anything to anywhere.  Some years ago, his firm was hired to take a shipment from Texas to Amsterdam.  The shipment turned out to be five industrial batteries.  The US have now claimed that these batteries were eventually intended for Iran and could be used for ground-to-air missiles.  Mr Tappin says that as far as he was concerned he was simply fulfilling a contract to transport them to Amsterdam - nothing more.  So he is likely to end up in an American jail while it is all sorted out, which could take months or even years.  I really think the Home Secretary needs to get a grip on this.
