He has no great "skills" that an intelligence departement could use. He merely accessed computers, on an open network, that weren't even password protected.

To equate McKinnon as being some highly skilled "hacker", threatening national security, is like claiming a that a Chevy Metro is a high performance "supercar" ready to challenge Lamborghini's legacy.

In the real world, government do each favours, thats how it works. So if you mean nothing to one side, they will do nothing to save you, sad but true.

Has always been this way.
