Assuming similar governmental structures

The following text: which the captive has an opportunity to challenge, in the justice system. Extradition requests can be turned down, by the judicial branch, even if the executive branch is in favor appears to assume that in all nations, they have judicial branches which can overrule the executive. This is true in some countries, but not all. The text needs to be changed to be less sweeping and Western-centric. J. Noel Chiappa 11:22, 15 April 2008 (CDT)

Various edits

I have begun making changes that differentiate the general international definition of the concept, versus the existing article, which was totally focused on the United States and, it seems, criticism of the George W. Bush Administration. It is quite appropriate to have an article on the questions of legal interpretation by that Administration, but please be specific to it; do not use a general article to address only the United States.

As I have time, I will add appropriate international information. In addition, I have created preliminary articles on the general process of international extradition, and intrastate extradition (U.S.).

There is no particular benefit to putting multiple citations, one after the other, to make the same point. To the extent that the citations do deal with different points, try to have at least one sentence that closely relates to the citation.

Further, when dealing with legal proceedings, it is highly desirable to have a citation to the actual court documents, not just opinion about them. Howard C. Berkowitz 21:45, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
