Mother of alleged British computer hacker and Shami Chakrabati on possible extradition (29Nov09)

Janis Sharp, mother of alleged computer hacker son Gary McKinnon and Shami Chakrabati talk about the shabby deal failure New Labour home secretary (an ex postman) Alan Johnson has done to send the alleged computer hacker to the USA. New Labour never did support their own, whether innocent or guilty.

Recorded from BBC's Andrew Marr Show, 29 November 2009.

how come its ok for them to hack into our private lives and loose or sell the info and rip us off and take money to pay banks and fight wars we dont want but as soon as a civillian follows suit we are soon held accountable. one rule for us another for them.

People with disabilities shouldn't be discriminated against. Send him to the U.S to stand trial and send that Chakrabati woman too.

[FurlogTheGiant]

The mother's hate towards America is enough to make the Americans want to get him. I know I do.

[CanebrakeSnake]

Fact: You must be 18 years old to be executed in the USA. We do not execute "juveniles".

What on earth does execution have to do with anything? Gary is not facing the death penalty. What a stupid woman.

[worcesteradam83]

He doesnt know the first thing about hacking. Technically what he did isnt even hacking.

He said there were loads of other people there with him, chatting amongst themselves, how come the US government doesnt care about them????????.

It was an open network.

If you are charging him with being a terrorist get the CIA to rendition him and torture him in Guantanamo then try him in a military court.

Otherwise f.off america.

We will prosecute him here, our way.

[cwood4ever]

He committed a crime on a US government website. What if he was a terrorist or something bad? As an American, I don't think he should be tried in our courts because I don't want my tax dollars paying for this.We would spend millions of dollars and then he would go to our jail and we would have to spend more millions. What the US government should do is hire him as a consultant on how to fix the web site to make it hack safe or at least talk to him about it. I'm sure hes got a good heart.

autism bollux.

let one off on that and all the scum will be using it.

yea little Leroys got autsim thats why he stabs people to deff, innit.

He should be tried for any crime in Britain. He is not an American citizen, how can their law courts have jurisdiction
