Gary Mckinnon today lost his appeal hearing at the European Court of Human Rights and faces extradition to the USA within two weeks to face trial.
Write to the Home Secretary now if you feel as strongly as I do that this should be stopped NOW

Anyone who knows anything about computers knows that its impossible to cause 700,000 dollars in damage to computers.

What evidence would that be that would be produced, either in a UK or US Court ? Please post a link that shows evidence of both the images and information Gary McKinnon states he viewed whilst hacking into US computers systems.
As the crime was committed against US property in the United States why shouldnt it be heard in the country where the act was perpetrated ?
If i build a nuclear bomb in this country and send it to France where it kills hundreds of thousands of people of course France will demand extradition.Ok its a severe case in point but where the actual crime is carried out is where jurisdiction should lie in where it should be heard.

I have no sympathy for him he could have got six months but refused to cooperate. I hope they throw the book at him as a warning to other enemy's of America.
And it's very easy to cause $700,000 of damage especially when deleting accounts from military systems and installing back doors which need to be fixed which he did. Lets not forget this guys actions shut down an entire network of around 3000 people for a month that's gotta be worth at least eighty years.
This guy definitely did the damage he is accused of and his deluded fantasy's wont save him from good old American justice.

Ahem there is no need to start using insults like that.Your post would have proved far better quite rightly laying partial blame on those govmt security personnel and the punishments they should face also.

Ok the fact is you initially replied to Shamantors post in relation to those responsible for the security being repremanded not me so maybe you should check your facts yourself.
