Are you kidding?

"US and Russia don't extradite their citizens." The US does extradite their citizens, here is a story right here, (first thing to come up in google) http://vilnius.usembassy.gov/05-27-04.html. Did you actually think the US does not extradite their own or did you just say that to make your argument have more validity?

"I think we should take the same approach , he should be trialed here." Of course the UK thinks that, what is the top crime he can be charge with there? Computer misuse, which is a misdemenour offense with punishment of community service, In the US its a felony. Tell me whats to stop his lawyers if he was tried in the UK to say that UK has no jurisdiction since after all the computers he broke into are in the US. Case dismissed. He should be tried where he commited the crime.

"I remember there was a 16 year old kid in the UK about 10 years that did the same thing, the news was hardly covered, no extradition etc." Probably because the 16 year old kid didnt say that he was in favor of 9/11 and he would continue to disrupt the US military networks at the highest levels.

"The fact is there are real terrorist and murderers out there that cant be extradited, why aren't we worrying about that??" The US see's him as a cyberterrorist, and we do worry about that.
