This is most likely false.
You are stating this as a fact but there is some proof to the contrary: Sweden has already extradited people to the US in cases where they really shouldn't have whereas the UK has so far been quite reluctant to do so, see the Gary McKinnon case recently.

- vidarh 14y agoThe "double consent" requirement is irrelevant all the time Sweden has in recent history violated their own laws as well as international treaties to hand political asylum seekers to the CIA for shipment back to the very regime they were fleeing from. Meanwhile, the UK actually relatively regularly refuse extradition requests. If I worried about the US government, I know very well where I'd rather be, and Sweden would be _far_ down that list.
