Background: A Briton accused of hacking into Nasa and US military computer networks has spoken out about his experiences. (Gary McKinnon was arrested by the UK's national high-tech crime unit in 2002.) McKinnon earns Lords appeal Pentagon hacker in legal victory By John Leyden Published Tuesday 31st July 2007 10:30 GMT Gary McKinnon, the British hacker facing extradition over allegations he broke into US Military and NASA sites, has earned the right to take his case to the House of Lords.
The law Lords agreed to hear arguments that US authorities acted in an "oppressive" and "arbitrary" manner during plea bargaining negotiations, for example by allegedly threatening McKinnon over the loss of rights to serve part of his sentence in the UK unless he submitted to voluntary extradition.
The House of Lords was not bound to consider McKinnon's final appeal - for example it declined to hear the appeal of the NatWest Three bankers, so the Lords' decision is a significant fillip for McKinnon and his legal team.

I don't see what the problem is, he should be freed immediately, the british public have too little respect for the us to take them seriously, The usa law has a worse law then the uk. In the uk he would get 6 months community service in the usa he could get upto 60 years.
i wouldnt wanna be in his shoes. This guy is in some deep trouble. Us federal law is very strict and people get ten years for crimes over there which uk citizens would not face jail for. Consider him slimed. Poor guy its sad really as people who do serious crimes get away with them but he will be get slimed for this. In the states you could be looking at serious jail time for over staying on a tourist visa. don't ever mess around with feds, they'll turn you inside out with a tooth comb
You kids don't get it at all.. There are Aliens, and we have there technology SEND THIS OUT TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.. THIS IS NOW THE TIME TO MAKE OUR MOVE!!!..
