    Default Perfidious Albion?

    JMA,

    Returning to your earlier posts 201 & 202, there is an odd BBC News report entitled:
    US 'trying to invent law' to extradite Assange
    and cites John Pilger:
    .. the United States is "trying to invent a law" under which they might also attempt to extradite Mr Assange.
    Link to a heated studio discussion:http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today...00/9301452.stm

    I have no idea whether such an attempt is likely, but our UK-USA extradition agreement is rather one-sided and subject of considerable opposition to so far successful extraditions (bar one case IIRC). If Assange was returned to Sweden I doubt if Sweden has such a extradition agreement as the UK's.
