Your flippant rudeness is inappropriate. Sweden has an established history of extraditing on behalf of the US in various illegal fashions. Here is one example: http://www.hrw.org/news/2006/11/09/sweden-violated-torture-b...

Sweden has been breaking international law for some time now, at the USA's behest. As the UN panel noted there is no reason to think Sweden might uphold their own diplomatic assurances as they have been caught violating them repeatedly.

So jmillikin stated that this had been posted by trustworthy sources and then goes on to list Julian's mom as a trustworthy source.

I don't understand in which way I am "flippantly rude" when pointing this out.

A single case does not an established history make.
