Gary McKinnon (Extradition)

I hear this kind of argument all the time. Yes is absolutely my answer to that question. Just as we have extradited more than 30 people since the treaty came in, we have not been refused on any occasion, so this kind of faint anti-Americanism—as if the Americans' system is totally corrupt and our system is brilliant—is not something I accept. Nor do I accept that America would not extradite somebody over here in exactly the same circumstances.
