Well we wouldn't because the US could be a big problem for us. That's international politics for you. It's also a problem if people facing extradition can abscond to a embassy, that's going to raise a few eye brows as well.
At least our course of action hasn't happened yet, it just remains on the table. We're getting criticised for a course of action we haven't even began proceedings on and Ecuador blows a hole though the concept of extradition and we're the ones causing the problem!
