Pentagon hacker wins a US extradition delay for psychiatric review

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.

The military do not leave computers on the network without passwords, it is done on purpose. They are called 'honey traps'. You let people come on the network and silently study them. You fill the network with real but irrelavent information (to give it legitamacy) plus mis-information and dis-information. It is not poor security at all, its designed to be like that.
A clear case of Aspergers taking over.This man can number crunch without thinking.....Its shocking that our Gov is allowing him to be extradited to America to be fed to the lions but then again the Scottish and British gov continually make odd decisions...Bailing out banks but not fairpak....freeing alledged passenger plane bombers on dodgy medical grounds but not making a rational decision to defend a british citizen...I hope someone sees sense ands stops this......
haha i find it funny because you're trying to act smart, you dont know me, you dont know what i think. Dont be so quick to judge. I know the world and how it operates i dont need you giving me advice on whats needed in the world. You can THINK you know everything about me but you're wrong and you know it, you'r judging me on one or two youtube comments which is pathetic and laughable at the same time. I dont think its fine the way it is but i have to accept it because that is the way it is.
thats the whole point of it all. in all these things its the innocent that died the innocent suffer because people like you think its fine because thats the way it is, you have similar ideals as all dictators and tyrants etc. A world of co operation is what is needed. lets drop our weapons and reach for the stars together. gary in reality is innocent but the fuck ups are going to do him over.
I believe him. He must be a genuine genius to have hacked all those different systems. He knows a lot more about the subject then I do, so why shouldn't I believe him?
lol what the fuck r u on about u moron, no one kicked us out of anywhere, we stayed in Britain and fought off the Germans, innocent men, women and children were killed here in their country trying to defend it. No Nazi's kicked us Brits out of Europe u retard.
Im from scotland. And there where 5 times as many french as british at dunkirk so how about you give them a bash.
America were the ones to scard to enter the war infact let me think back to when the french bailed you out in the revolution. Where we beat you in almost every large battle were you peasants ran to the hills. This isnt important what is that gary is set free or tried in england.
You mean it was only 2-1 and you still gave up whatta bunch of chickenshits. the Japanese General may have been right but as they fought to the last man they would'nt have realised what a load of "surrender monkeys" you were/are. No mention of your running away from Dunkirk oh yeah", leaving the Scots to hold the Nazis while you ran home to mommy England. Or was that another "Glorious defeat"? You seem to "Celebrate" a helluva lot of those", except, of course, Singapore.

My comment on this thread
is they should lock the pest
up and throw away the key.
Is that succinct enough for
you?
