Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah, the Brits are Stuck With Abu Qatada

A judge at the Europe's "human rights" court has ruled that the Brits cannot deport influential cleric/splenetic jihadi Abu Qatada, even though he's "truly dangerous" and Jordan had agreed to take him. The reason:

the court said he should not face trial for terrorism on evidence obtained by the torture of others.
How does the court know that that's what happened? Because Qatada says so, and he would never lie, would he?:
The Palestinian-Jordanian preacher has been convicted in his absence of involvement in two major terrorism plots in Jordan. But he says that those convictions were based on evidence extracted by the torture of co-defendants and he would face similar treatment if returned. He originally fled to the UK in 1993 after being tortured twice.
Or so he says. In any event, the case embodies a truism du jour: Islamists--can't live with 'em; can't ship 'em back if they claim they've been tortured.

Here--I've done it up as a poem:

A cleric named Abu Qatada
Says something is really the mada
If the U.K.--his warden--
Ships him back home to Jordan.
So a "human rights" judge says, "Don't bada."

Update: Can't wait for the Abu Qatada exhibit at our "human rights" mausoleum.
