UK Judge Grants Extradition Review To Cracker Gary McKinnon

JobsEnding writes with this quote from IBTimes: "A British court ruled on Friday that a man who hacked into US military computers will be given permission for a judicial review against his extradition to the United States. Hacker Gary McKinnon, 42, who had been diagnosed recently with Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism, has admitted hacking into the military computers. His lawyers had said McKinnon was at risk of suicide if he were extradited." We discussed the granting of McKinnon's extradition in 2006 when it was first granted, as well as a profile of the man more recently.

    "UK Judge Grants Extradition Review To Caucasian Gary McKinnon" would be a less offensive headline.

    Looks like MI6 doesn't want to lose one of their best guys.
