So why was he arrested yesterday?
Times Online - Home
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he's done bad things and I'm pretty sure his notoriety will mean he gets at least an open trial, but why arrest him yesterday? They obviously knew about the alleged crimes comitted as long as 6 years ago in some cases, yet the US did not ask for extradition until recently.
Did they perhaps need a nice big fat 'good news' headline as things aren't going so well in Iraq? Is that why his arrest was leaked to the Sun 6 hours before he was arrested? A paper owned by Rupert Murdoch, one of Tony Blair's biggest supporters?
