Story: MPs call for Nasa hacker to serve UK sentence
The U.S should Grow Up & Get A Sense Of Humour
Excellent that Gary McKinnon is finally getting support and hopefully some long overdue Justice.
This one sided Extradition Treaty should never have been introduced.
When Courts can treat allegations as facts without a trial having taken place, this is not Justice.
The fact that even David Blunket (who signed the treaty in secret) has come out in support of Gary McKinnon is good news indeed.
When Gary McKinnon committed the crime of computer misuse over six years ago whilst searching for evidence of U.F.O's, he was told he would serve six months community service as this was the sentence at the time for computer misuse.
For the sentence to then become an extradition offence and a proposed sixty years sentence because he would not agree to their plea bargain, is nothing more than blackmail and vindictivness from a country that had no passwords or firewalls on their military computers.
Gary was on a dial up machine in his girlfriends flat when he left cheeky notes on Military computers and also left his girlfriends email address behind.
An idiot perhaps but definitely not a Terrorist.
The U.S should Drop this case, grow up and get a sense of humour and start using Passwords & Firewalls.
