Maverick should be ashamed.  :D

I hate cheeky cockeneys. And Millwall FC fans. Soft Southern Bastards.

While the American Special Forces survive on pretzels and Big Macs, the SAS makes do on toothpaste and a damned good thrashing twice a day. My money is on the SAS to find him first, followed by a quick hand over to US forces.  ;)
War! Never been so much fun. War! Never been so much fun! Go to your brother, Kill him with your gun, Leave him lying in his uniform, Dying in the sun.

If the SAS get him then the only thing being handed over will be a dead body.

SAS don't take prisoners  :)

Mietla, yes I would.

On a sidenote, the Europeans are not going to extradite if something that isn't acceptable happens to the dudes that is extradited when he is abroad.

In your example, something acceptable to your country (i.e imprisonment) happens. The two examples are therefore far from the same.

In the end, it's the country who holds the detainee who decides. Btw, this policy of not extraditing to the US unless there's a guarantee that there won't be a death penalty waiting for him is not new - it's been in place for many years.
