Playing Devil's advocate, Sweden has treaties with the U.S. about extradition; is it reasonable for a country to suspend them because a suspect demands so?

It would be reasonable for all parties to be transparent with respect to what they plan to do re:extradition.

Yes in theory Sweden could just suspend the treaties for a while. We're up there with "storming the embassy" levels of diplomatic fuck-up-ery there. They aren't going to suspend international treaties like that.
