Sandiel asks

"Why can the Americans insist on the 3 bankers being flown to America to stand trial, yet it is up to Paul Burrell himself whether he returns to explain his 'faux pas' (i.e. being caught saying he had been lying) at Dianas inquest."

For various reasons. Firstly the NatWest 3 were accused of a criminal offense, while Burrell at this stage is being asked to return and clarify his evidence. He's not (yet) been accused of purgery.

Secondly the extradition laws are a bit skewed right now. Extraditing an American criminal (which again Burrell is neither) is rather difficult, which extraditing a Brit to the states requires much less evidence.
