We should be ashamed.

Remember Christopher Tappin?  If not, read my post dated 18/2/12.  And then read his account of what happened to him after he was extradited to America.  It's a sorry and shocking indictment of the American justice system and prison regime, and if there's any reason why we should look again at the extradition treaty between our countries, this is it.  But has our Home Secretary got the guts or the will to do anything about it?  I'm not holding my breath!
