Why would the CIA be interested in damaging a symbiotic relationship with UK Intelligence services in order to extradite a UK national who is not being tried for anything even moderately related to their agency's remit? Or, in simpler terms, do you think the CIA cares enough about this kid to bully the home secretary into deporting him?
- JonnieCache 14y agoThe CIA is interested in expanding their power to manipulate foreign governments and to pluck foreign citizens away from their homes at will. If nothing else, this sets another precedent in their favor in that regard. Maybe it's not coming from the CIA, I'm not totally familiar with who orders who around when it comes to this stuff. Some branch of US.gov at any rate.
