The guy's a fool

Whether it was ethical or not, and whether the 'threat' happened or not, McKinnon's an idiot for not biting the Americans' hands off if you ask me! There's no denying he's done something wrong- he admits that himself- and is going to be punished. So if I was him, serving less than 3 years and serving it over here would look mighty attractive! I did have some sympathy for the guy and agree that the yanks are over-reacting to cover their own shockingly low security levels, but he can only blame himself now if he ends up in some high-security prison in the States for the rest of his life.
