I don't usually like being too political, but as a brit I came here to say the same. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56246511 https://www.bbc.co.uk/

  Why not extradite both!

    That's what I was getting at.

  While I think it’s unlikely she’ll face the justice she deserves, at least her intelligence career is likely in ruins. It’s hard to be an effective spy when most of an entire country a) is at least passively aware you exist and b) thinks you’re a complete piece of shit to the point the newspapers would know if you so much as fart. She still should be extradited and she still should be in prison, but in the whole heap of bullshit that’s UK-US extradition agreements we should take what comforts we can. I’m usually quite the Atlanticist but in matters of extradition I think we should simply tear up those agreements. What’s the justice in the US being able to extradite autistic teenagers who’ve never set foot on American soil at the behest of MPAA and RIAA human scum, yet we can’t extradite a literal killer?

  Where's the politics?

    > Where's the politics? In the seemingly lopsided extradition treaty between the US and the UK. (Which I was hesitant to comment on directly simply because we risk veering away from the core focus of HN - which is arguably the technology angle of this story rather than UK/US extradition policies)
