Yes but

Gary McKinnon has not only not admitted to the scale of the damage done and the cost thereof, he has specifically denied it. Wild accusations of the damage done and costs have been has published here, hence our lack of trust in a fair outcome for a rather foolish individual, who it turns out might be handicapped.

The weakness of NASA security was highlighted as a result of his interest in 'Extra Terrestrials', using rather basic (unsophisticated) hacking methods.
