UK Gives Go-Ahead to Gary McKinnon Extradition

robzster1977 writes "Judges in the UK have given the go-ahead to the extradition of UK hacker Gary McKinnon. McKinnon is accused of breaking into US Navy, Army and Department of Defense computers in 2001 and 2002." From the article: "On 4 July the secretary of state signed an order for Mr McKinnon's extradition to the United States for charges connected with computer hacking. Mr McKinnon had exercised his right to submit representations against return but the secretary of state did not consider the issues raised availed Mr McKinnon."

    1. This wasn't the equivalent of a big red button. He "broke into" (or whatever you want to call it) US government and military computer systems.

    2. This complete dumbass claims he saw evidence of US UFO coverups (LOL!) but conveniently has no proof.

    3. He's not going to get "disappeared" or go to Guantanamo Bay, you complete and utter fuckface. I can't believe you believe that shit. NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THIS GUY, except maybe getting fined and going to jail. You're a first rate cocksucker. And no, he's not going to "only get jailtime now" because of "all the publicity". If you even think that, you're stupider than you sound.

    4. How in the FUCK is this +4?

    Otherwise, what's the difference?

    Oh, nothing aside of the fact that UK (government?) has always been the USA lamehuevos (soory, could not find the exact translation, but it means they are always willing to please the USA government, even if that means screwing their own people).

    On the other hand, USA would never accept the extradition of that person to China.
