Well instead of claiming that it was in 'some thing I read and failing to establish it ill happily demonstrate it.It was not me wanting to see proof it was originally Moros Synackaon. I was pointing out that your statement of "unattributed assertions are worthless" was strange since you had done that after being asked pacifically for a source to information provided by you.
It is contained in article 17 of the Framework of the European arrest warrant
A state wishing to prosecute a surrendered person for offences committed before his or her surrender, or extradite a surrendered person to a third state, must, subject to certain exception, obtain the permission of the executing judicial authority. Such a request is made in the same form as a European Arrest Warrant, and granted or refused using the same rules which determine whether surrender would be granted or refused

Quote:I think we have now established that the UK must agree to a third party extraditionNo we have not. Your "Article 17 statement"(Remember different to mine. And I have the link to mine.) which was used to back your claim has not been confirmed. I think what you have established is an unattributed assertion.
I will ask again for you to provide relevant links to back your argument. If not your statement is bullshit.
Quote:If the above is true why hasn't the Swedish authorities done this(question abroad) and why are they so keen to get Assange to Sweden?I think they look stupid for not trying to establish the facts before extradition.
No idea. They have an option to do this if they wish. They are choosing not to exercise it as is their legal right.
perhaps they believe they will look stupid if the go to the UK , question him, decide there is a case to answer and he still refuses to come over.
Quote:Anyway, quite separately, even if they could extradite him I don't believe they would since it would diminish the status of Sweden amongst other social democratic countries. I don't think the USA would try and undermine Sweden either by attempting to do so but that is just an opinion and not provable.I have no ideas about Sweden's politics or the relationship between USA and Sweden. I believe the Australia and USA have a close relationship and look what they did to David Hicks. Anything is possible.
Quote:Assange can just stay inside the prison of his own makingSounds like you have a dislike to Assange.
