Necessary Extraditions of Britains to America

      Washington - The United States does not see itself as an arrogant, prosecution-happy country, eager to mete out vigilante justice to Americans and non-Americans alike.  Spokespeople in Washington, D.C. say  a treaty signed in 2003 is good as it stands written.  But, to others in Britain, e.g. 24 year-old Richard O'Dwyer of Bolsover, England, the treaty is a sign of an Anglo-American extradition agreement that's grossly weighted in favor of the United States.  O'Dwyer is accused of running an illegal website.  The issue has gotten particular attention lately because of the case of Julian Assange, the founder of the whistle-blowing website Wikileaks.  See also, www.nytimes.com.
