I understand the British don't like seeing their own being extradited
No way is someone getting away with messing around with the US military that's just a simple fact it's not an argument.
I found a video of his protest linked from the free Gary site and actually counted the protesters my count is around twenty four I'll say thirty just to be generous which lets be honest isn't a lot of support at all. The fact is most British people don't care and know he deserves it.
As far as I'm aware I've posted nothing but fact's in all my posts about his crimes do try not to take my views personally it's just how I see it.
In a world were a naive music download can cost someone thousands and even substantial prison time

Shamanator - I heave read through all your posts and there is one straight fact you always seem to ignore and not comment on- namely that the "crime" was committed from a house in London and under UK law that means he MUST be tried here in the UK.

Well technically the crime was committed on American soil as that's where the hack took place but of course the Internet being International will always have jurisdiction issues in this regard.
Which is probably one of the reasons for the extradition treaty in the first place you could say the British government sold Mckinnon out but really he did it himself.
You can protest the treaty all you want maybe you need better negotiators but it's unlikely to do Gary any good he should have took the deal but from his hacks you can tell that the guy has absolutely no instinct for common sense I still shake my head thinking about the foolish things he did without even the slightest attempt to mask his address or remain hidden.
I'm kinda convinced the guy has some mental issues personally maybe they'll find that out when he's here.
Wrong wrong wrong. The computer used to do the 'hacking' was located in the UK. The only thing that entered and exited the US was electrical impulses. Go ahead and try to arrest an electrical impulse will you? Also could you explain how the Internet being International makes it America's jurisdiction?
You, by this statement, have shown your absolute ignorance for computers and technology. Do you even know how he managed to access the remote systems? Do you know how the Internet even works?
So your a psychologist now are you? Claiming someone 'has mental issues' without a shred of proof or expertise is going beyond ignorant, it's damn-right insulting.

Oh and yes I know how the internet works in it's basics TCP/IP, DNS, Packets, I have never ever heard of it working on pulses though

Gary never claimed to be an expert hacker, he even said he never expected to get anywhere. The ease with which he slid into unprotected systems (some controlled by blackmarket CISCO routers bought by the US Govt from China) and the fact he was able to work his way around these supposed 'sensitive' systems only indicates America's lack of control over their own security. If anything Gary should be applauded for pointing out this flaw in your systems, not jailed for it and certainly not jailed in America.
