"While the UK debates the propriety of sending bankers to the United States, an entirely different extradition controversy has hit the High Court. Babar Ahmad and Haroon Rashid Aswat argue on appeal that “there was a ‘real risk that they would be exposed to fundamental injustice’ if they were sent to the United States.”[6] The argument has failed in the past, because US authorities gave assurances “that they would not seek the death penalty, put the men before military tribunals, or declare them ‘enemy combatants.’”[7] They argue, however, that “the judges should not rely on assurances given by the US that the men would be treated fairly.”[8] The United States argues that the UK can rely on the assurances, and the hearings continue tomorrow.[9]"
