Misleading the House

Dear Baroness Scotland,
On BBC Radio 4, between 8.30 AM and 9.00 AM local British time 5th July 2006 there was broadcast the programme "Yesterday in Parliament" in which you deflected and, or, refused to answer a question put to you, I think by a fellow Honourable Member in I believe the House of Lords, [ location: debating chamber? ], on the grounds of "sub judice" rules. On the, July 6 2006, edition of that programme, I believe I heard that, you have apologized for "misleading" the House, presumably The House of Lords.
It is my understanding that, the matter which you apparently claimed was sub-judice, but which was not, related to the proposed extradition of Mr Gary Mulgrew, Mr David Bermingham and Mr Giles Darby from the United Kingdom to the United States of America, whose situation is refered to in "Daily Telegraph" articles

It was my understanding, that the fast-track extradition procedure was designed as primarily a counter-terrorist iniative. Now I would assume, it might have genuine benefits to fighting terrorism, if a law which was implemented primarily to fight terrorism has a broader scope, so that persons [ of which I believe there is no suspicion of, in the case of the above gentlemen ] who were suspected of engageing in terrorism could not escape extradition by claiming their activities were "merely" criminal rather than terroristic. How ever, any such legitimacy one might subscribe to the above proposed extradition of the above men, immediately breaks down as a result of the fact, that Her Majesty's Government by chooseing to leave Victorian sub judice laws in place, whilst this country [ i.e. the United Kingdom ] is faced by threats which were quite simply unimaginable to the Victorians who framed Britain's laws. Simply and brutally put, Irish Fenians in the 1880s or thereabouts, throwing a homemade handgrenade through the door of a London police station and killing one or two policemen is not the same thing as e.g. al-Qaeda hijacking an Airbus A-380 airliner and smashing it in to the Dungeness nuclear power station.

If, the present Labour Government is not completely, mad, insane, in-competent or just plain vicious, it will block the extradition of the three men named above and institute a far reaching reform of the sub-judice laws, which would allow responsible journalists to report facts concerning terrorist activity, which they are currently prohibited from doing so by the present sub judice laws, as this sub judice prohibition is constitueing a critical threat to the survival of the British people.
