So far as I know he hasn't disputed the charges in years.

Extraditions to the US from the UK require merely an accusation, take a look: http://www.heritage.org/research/rep...orth-defending

Reading is fundamental - worth noting that those two Americans don't know anything either, because they refer to British Citizens and British Subjects, which they are not legally speaking.

The test has become "reasonable suspicion" - which unacceptable when extraditing to the US, as the US makes use of the Death Penalty - pretty much the only Western Nation with it still on it's books.
