He was arrested at the end of August 2004, and in early February 2006 was found guilty of eleven out of fifteen charges relating to inciting racial hatred, inciting murder and inciting terrorism.

He got sentenced to seven years here. Personally, I think we did it right. Let him rot* in an American prison (so they foot the bill), but at least make him spend some time inside in this country to show the country isn't completely overrun.

* bearing in mind that at the time of the decision, the authorities probably knew he was going to be extradited when his sentence was complete, but extradition did not necessarily guarantee a conviction.
