What he did or didn't do is immaterial. Our sovereign government has decided not to prosecute him. A foreign power is unilaterally using their economic and military might to make our government hand over his person. That is Wrong™ and it would be so regardless of his alleged crimes.
- mootothemax 14y agoOur sovereign government has decided not to prosecute him. They did, however, agree to their extradition agreements with the USA. But this is neither here nor there; I'm more concerned with the "he did nothing wrong" angle that is being used in argument against his extradition, whilst very ignoring the facts of the matter.
- mibbitier 14y agoLinking to possibly infringing content on the web isn't exactly crime of the century though. The extradition laws are being massively abused.

What's the possible endgame if the UK were to very publicly say no? Will the US go to war with the UK? Will they embargo the nation? Will they cease trade? Or will they perhaps throw up a diplomatic hissy fit about 'cooling relations' and then go back to business as usual.
