Why "render" Gary Mckinnon to America? Is America our master?

Gary McKinnon has made the mistake of being too curious with the Americans, who are running with all their might toward fascism like lemmings to the sea. The Americans are like Saddam Hussein's Baath Party in the sense that their self-righteous belief in the cowboy tactics of "might makes right" appears to justfy anything they want to do for whatever reason they want to do it; honesty and integrity be damned.

If Gary McKinnon has harmed the UK or Europe in any way, he should be tried for it. But if he has NOT harmed the UK or Europe in any way, he should be freed plus given a stipend to compensate for an incarceration that is at once unwarranted and unjustified. The UK has made fools of themselves by licking their collective tongues up the abominable bums of the Americans. I find it singularly and especially insulting that the UK plays the role of American lapdog so enthusiastcally and with such unspeakable abandon. By sending Gary McKinnon to the US, the UK is no better than the Americans who "render persons of interest" to foreign countries where they can be tortured-- in this case to America, the new torture capital of the world.
