Re: Has Gary McKinnon got off with Crime?

As kestrelx says there's no doubt he knew what he was doing and intended to do harm- he said so in several quotes. The comment 'he was only looking for UFO evidence' is rubbish and was just intended to get sympathy for him. Whether he knew he was doing serious wrong is up to medical experts and the courts- but UK courts.
Refusing to extradite him is a political snub to the USA- telling them they've been going too far with extraditing UK citizens for potential crimes committed in the UK. Don't forget we signed the new extradition treaty, they refused to so it's only working one way.
As for USA security- how can they have a system which could start the third world war but is so open to hacking that someone with Aspergers can get into it and wreck it using a quite low powered laptop?
Makes you wonder how safe our bank accounts,credit cards etc. are!
Yes he should go on trial but here.
