You can tell America what it should do as much as you want; the reality is that American law was broken and you're obligated by treaty to hand the criminal over. If America wants to pardon him, that's America's choice, not yours. Talking about "victimless" crimes is even stupider; treason is usually a victimless crime (assuming the person gets caught early enough); that's hardly a reason to not punish it. No one is actually claiming that no crime was committed or that the act in question wouldn't be a crime in Britain. So what we have is your Home Secretary unilaterally abrogating your legal obligations to appeal to a domestic audience. The potential for self-harm has not and is not a valid reason to stop an extradition hearing. Hell, how many of your Muslim extremists threaten to kill themselves if sent to the US? But we know that "criminal while Muslim" is the next "driving while black".
