Gary McKinnon, a British hacker accused of infiltrating almost 100
U.S. military computers in the months after Sept. 11, 2001, should be
extradited to stand trial in the U.S., the U.K.'s highest court ruled
today.
McKinnon, 42, who has said he was searching for information on
unidentified flying objects, is accused hacking into 97 NASA, Army and
Navy computer systems in 2001 and 2002. The House of Lords ruled
unanimously that a decision in favor of McKinnon would ``imperil the
integrity of the extradition process.''
McKinnon asked judges to stop his extradition arguing that his human
rights would be infringed by U.S. officials who told him prosecutors
in New Jersey wanted to see him ``fry.'' McKinnon said he was also
told that if he didn't accept a plea bargain he'd get a longer jail
term entirely served in the U.S.
The ``case could have been properly dealt with by our own prosecuting
authorities,'' McKinnon's lawyers at London-based Kaim Todner LLP said
in an e-mailed statement. ``Instead, we believe that the British
government declined to prosecute him to enable the U.S. government to
make an example of him.''
Couldn't he easily have avoided all this?

Are we supposed to feel sorry for him?

Well I do, didn't the fucking Yanks during an enquiry over here into a friendly fire incident in Iraq or Afghanistan basically tell the Crown to *** off as they weren't sending their people over, 2 faced cnuts.

I don't know whether they did or not.

But even assuming that they did, that doesn't make this gentleman any less the architect of his own misfortunes - does it?
