Gary McKinnon case rolls on
UK HOME SECRETARY Theresa May will take another look at Gary McKinnon's case and has delayed his extradition to the US.
This is very good news, but the case has been a long one, and its comings and goings can only have been torturous for all involved. Still, it's a new broom in government now, and the coalition wants to take a fresh look at the case.
Today the Home Office told us, "The Home Secretary, Theresa May, has agreed to an adjournment of the extradition process that Mr McKinnon's legal team has been fighting and so the process is suspended while the Home Secretary considers more evidence from the McKinnon legal team."
More evidence? Or the same evidence? The Home Office has ignored public and professional support for Asperger Syndrome sufferer McKinnon, who has claimed for years now to have wandered into Nasa's computers in his hunt for evidence of alien intelligence. He is accused of causing £425,000 in damages to US government systems.
McKinnon has been in and out of court now more often than one of those ridiculous wigs that our judges wear, and he has seen his case considered by no less than six home secretaries, including Ms May.
He and his supporters no doubt will be hoping that soon he can put it all behind him. µ

During the Thai Democracy struggle by the "Redshirts" Thailands ISOC has consistently used illegal hacking methods into emails and various "blocking" techniques to stamp down on free speech.There should be a law to stop this.
Robert writes, "McKinnon admits hacking U.S. computers. There is nothing to debate. The U.S. has every right to extradite and prosecute him and they should."
The US does not have "every right" to extradite anyone: extradition is only agreed between nations and the agreement in this case has been widely criticised - another product of Tony the Tory.
So, the US also operates something called rendition, which is their own form of fast-track extradition, although you don't get to meet a judge in that case.
And Ameritards wonder, "Why does everyone hate America?" Ever wonder that yourself, Robert?
Yes we could really do with having mitnick around in schools to teach cyber warfare.
America if you want him then you have to pay!

PS USENET Foundling Home Base has quit, one step of many, done on another farce & poverty.
The other point, of course, is that if McKinnon had been American and had hacked into UK computers the US wouldn't of extradited him to UK because the agreement isn't even-handed
That he perpetrated the act on British soil is one stickler. Also that whatever form of "justice" coming stateside for the untold (and unjustified, and unprovable) billions of trumped-up damages he committed is several orders of magnitude higher than in the UK, apparently from reading other articles.
That, and the new UK coalition (oh why couldn't you try a minority?) probably doesn't want to be America's little b*tch anymore.
McKinnon admits hacking U.S. computers. There is nothing to debate. The U.S. has every right to extradite and prosecute him and they should. All the other smoke screen distraction stuff is irrelevant to the crime and judicial process. It's time for McKinnon to be held accountable for his actions in a U.S. court.
