Oh, I doubt that...

Seems that Rashid Rauf, arrested in Pakistan last year and facing extradition to the UK for his role in a plot to blow up aircraft, has gotten away.
According to a New York Times on-line article, Rauf was being taken back to jail after an extradition hearing and "slipped out of his handcuffs".
Two of the policemen who'd been guarding him were arrested.
You think? I've been in handcuffs, and you don't just 'slip out of them'. Someone lets you out.
Even his own lawyer said that it was "sheer stupidity on his part because the case for his extradition was not strong".
Another lawyer noted that “it is not a case of escape, it is a case of mysterious disappearance, or he has been taken away".
Hmmm... Hadn't considered that possibility. I wonder how much a guard in Pakistan makes a year? I wonder how much you'd have to offer him to let his prisoner go into the hands of unsympathetic men...
