Got to stop the US
We have got to stop the US extraditing people willy-nilly and treating the planet as their jurisdictional playground. If the guy committed a crime in Australia, he should be tried in Australia.
I can't really see the US authorities allowing, say, the UK to extradite a US national to the UK to be tried in the UK for a crime committed on US soil (and, perhaps, something that wasn't a crime in the USA anyway).
I don't support what the guy did, but it is about time we lobbied our politicians to clip the imperialist wings of the USA.
