On Monday 03 March 2014 11:19, Tim Streater conveyed the following to 
comp.misc...

> I agree that the UK-US extradition situation is egregious ATM.

Also note that it's a one-way street.  If the US wants to UK to 
extradite a suspect of crimes in or against the US, the UK will 
generally comply. [*]  

If on the other hand the UK wants the US to extradite a suspect for 
crimes in or against the UK, the US will generally refuse.  Never forget 
that... 

     "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."
     -- George Orwell.


[*] There /is/ of course still that little issue with regard to
    the extradition of one Gary McKinnon, citizen of the UK, who
    "broke into" some (completely unsecured) computers at the Pentagon
    and NASA, looking for suppressed evidence of UFOs.  Tony Blair and
    Gordon Brown were willing to hand over McKinnon to the Americans
    on a silver platter, but then their successor David Cameron suddenly
    changed course.  Probably because of the consideration by US
    authorities that some of what McKinnon found out about wasn't
    suitable for disclosure to the public in a courtroom.  (The fact
    that those computers all had Microsoft Windows with a blank password
    for their Administrator account could possibly be one of those
    slightly embarrassing details, regardless of what else McKinnon
    found on those computers.)
