No he should not have been extradited. He has Aspergers and you may think this is no excuse, but those who have Aspergers get very caught up on things(they may not realise the risks of doing what they are doing...they are emotionally detached)....they search and they search.
What should be happening is that the US should be enlisting the services of people like him.....then perhaps their computer systems would be more secure. (you need to know where the holes are in your fences, before you can even think of mending them)
It seems that I am in the minority here, but that is my view and I make no apology for it.
Just a question...if the positions had been reversed, and the person had been a US citizen who had hacked into....oh, let's say Britains Defence systems....do you really think the US would have given up one of their citizens to justice here????? I don't think they would.
