Hacker Gary McKinnon Interviewed

G0rAk writes "The BBC World Service has a half hour audio interview with British hacker Gary McKinnon. As recently reported on/. and BBC News, Gary was arrested and freed on bail pending extradition proceedings to the U.S. There, he faces charges of gaining unauthorised access and causing criminal damage to military computers in his search for evidence of UFO coverups and anti-gravity technology of extra-terrestrial origin. In a very candid interview, Gary re-affirms that he had no malicious intent, was amazed at the ease with which he penetrated the networks, explains in detail what evidence of UFO coverups he saw, describes a personal journey through hell as he became obsessed with the project and how very scared he is that he could be facing up to seventy years in a Virginian jail. A bit of a nut, perhaps. But a fascinating listen that helps a lot in making that judgment. The Interview can be listened to with RealPlayer from 11:32 GMT (06:32 EST) on Saturday until the same time next week."

    1) You know what? Here in Israel, *everybody* gets their bags checked in every public place (including restaurants, malls, any building with public offices etc.). Moreover, all the cars are opened as well. And, sorry, you may think that this is government implementing draconian surveillance, but actually, it is a necessity.

    2) While you are at it, why do you talk about Iraqis, and not some africans that are cutting down each other by thousands? And anyway, you dare blame the US for the death of Iraqi civilians? There are fcking terrorists bombing people there, and if you leave them alone, those same terrorists are eventually going to come near *your* home.

    So, you may want to "stop using violence to justify more violence". Oh well. Let's see you talking after 10 more bombings in London and, say, Paris.
