I've worked with Avi and know he has the vision and depth of character to build a party of change. He is a leader who inspires a new generation of activists while respecting the wisdom of those who built our movement. He's what we need in this moment." - Libby Davies.A graphic of a baseball card with a photo of Svend Robinson and Jack Layton.

New: Amit Forlit, the Israeli private eye wanted in the United States in connection with the hack of environmentalists fighting Exxon Mobil, has lost his fight against extradition. He has two weeks to file an appeal. www.reuters.com/world/israel...
LONDON, April 30 (Reuters) - An Israeli private investigator wanted by the United States for allegedly carrying out a "hacking for hire" campaign at the behest of an Exxon Mobil lobbyist on Wednesday lost his fight against extradition from Britain.
Amit Forlit, 57, is facing charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and computer hacking relating to his alleged targeting of environmental activists, his lawyers said in January, confirming Reuters' earlier reporting.Forlit, who was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport last year, argued he should not be sent to the U.S. because - as his charges relate to climate change litigation against Exxon - his prosecution is "unquestionably political".
His objections to extradition were rejected by Judge John McGarva. The full written ruling that was not immediately available.
Forlit, whose bail was extended, has 14 days to challenge the decision at the High Court.
