********OT, of Sorts******** Heartening to see big governments do the right thing now and again.

The landmark human rights ruling by a three-to-two majority of a panel of five Law Lords means Pinochet must stay in Britain to face an extradition request by a Spanish judge, unless Home Secretary (interior minister) Jack Straw decides to free him. The verdict -- which drew gasps from the public gallery -- sparked rejoicing from Chilean exiles and human rights activists in many parts of the world.>>>>
