Liberal Democrat Leader Sir Ming Campbell when commenting on Gordon Brown's visit to the US said "There are three things which should be on Gordon Brown's agenda when he meets President Bush: renegotiation of the one-sided extradition treaty; the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention centre; and a negotiated withdrawal of British forces from Iraq. These should be the objective of a candid friend. The excessively subordinated relationship between the President and Mr Blair should be put to bed."
