Grovel before your displeased 'master': BBC apologized to the Queen for reporting her opinion Abu-hamza

The BBC apologized to
the Queen of England after a security correspondent detailed a private
conversation in which the head of state told him she had voiced concerns
to a minister over the arrest and extradition of Abu Hamza, an Islamic
cleric who faces terrorism charges in the U.S.

During an interview on BBC Radio 4’s Today Program, Frank Gardner
revealed that the monarch told him that she was “upset” with the way the
arrest and extradition of Abu Hamza was handled and at one point voiced
these concerns to a home secretary.
Many have criticized the European Court—including former U.N.
Ambassador John Bolton—for its slow proceedings and jurisdiction over
British courts. The Queen also expressed disappointment that there had
not been a more efficient way to arrest the Egyptian-born British
citizen. According to Gardner:

The Queen was pretty upset that there was no way to
arrest him. She couldn’t understand – surely there must be some law that
he broke. Well, sure enough there was. He was eventually convicted and
sentenced to seven years for soliciting murder and racial hatred. She
spoke to the Home Secretary at the time and said, ‘surely this man must
have broken some laws, my goodness, why is he still at large?’
The European Court of Human Rights ruled on Monday that Abu Hamza, a
radical Islamic preacher, will be extradited to the United States to
face trial, despite the defense’s argument that he would face “torture”
at the hands of U.S. authorities. Hamza, who has been dubbed a
“terrorist facilitator with a global reach” by sources in Washington, will face 11 charges relating to the kidnapping of 16 hostages in Yemen in 1998 and an attempt to set up a jihad training camp in rural Oregon.

The Queen rarely expresses her political views and it is convention
that those who converse with her—whether in private meetings, or palace
receptions—stay mum on what was said.
