In Sweden he had a much better chance of being black bagged, but the UK doesn't allow extraordinary rendition starting from their soil.

That's a completely different case, though. That's deportation of asylum seekers to their country of origin. Very questionably handled, but still, the UK has also deported people for bad reasons.

Either way, extradition is a very different thing.

It wasn't deportation, because Sweden didn't go through their deportation process. It was Swedish police watching while CIA agents black bagged Swedish residents in the middle of the night.

And yes, it's not extradition either. That's the point I'm making.
