I think the lawyers went down the wrong paths with their appeals. Abu Hamza may indeed be a bad person (I think any religious reason for killing people is bad - in fact, most negative religious "reasons" for anything are bad). But the law, as Mr Bumble once famously and correctly pronounced in a simple yet accurate reply written by the greatest man who ever lived - "The Law is an ass".
Domenic Raab spoke great sense about this on BBC Brekkie - this ruling is correct (wrong applications) but our extradition laws are totally wrong too and need repairing.
And I must say - 8 years in prison without trial strikes me as absolutely absurd and illegal.
I seem to remember something called the Magna Carta banned that sort of thing?
It would never have happened in Libya, Syria, Egypt... or would it?
