To the Editor:
If the U.S. wants France to extradite suspects to face trial in our courts, we will have to honor our own extradition treaties with our allies. Instead, the U.S. has refused extradition to both Germany and to Italy and has even intimidated those governments into withdrawing proper requests for extradition. In the current matter, freeing an Iranian citizen may get the French favorable terms for oil and gas purchases. Currying favor the with the U.S. gets them neither thanks nor even an expectation that we will reciprocate in future cases.
