The absence of extradition treaty does not automatically guarantee that an extradition request by the US wouldn't be honoured.
Take Kuwait, for example: Kuwait doesn't have an extradition treaty with the United States, but if any US fugitive decides to "hide" in Kuwait, that would be a very unwise decision. Kuwaiti Government has excellent ties with the US Administration (in fact, over 17 thousand US citizens live in Kuwait, not to count the American military personnel), so one should rest assured, that once Kuwait receives an extradition request from the US Attorney General, or from the US Dept. of Justice, the person whose extradition is sought would find himself (herself?) on the plane bound for the US in no time.
In order to estimate the chances of US' extradition request being denied, one has to consider not only the presence or absence of extradition treaty between the 2 states, but also has to look at the diplomatic/political ties between the 2 countries.
In this case, Syria, Iran and North Korea would be the safest bet. As far as I know, these 3 countries are the only ones on the planet which would blatantly reject the extradition request by the United States (and in Iran's case, there wouldn't even be any proper channels through which the US could formally submit its extradition request to the Iranian authorities, because there are no diplomatic ties between the 2 countries whatsoever; the Swiss Embassy in Tehran looks after the US's interests and passes messages from the American Administration (if any) to the Iranian authorities).
