Gary Mckinnon will NOT be extradited

[d000hg]

he 'hacked' a secure system by checking who hadn't got a password. He didn't delete anything.

Its roughly like walking down the street and then walking into the open back door of a shop and checking what they had in store cupboard. He didn't take anything. so its the equivalent of Trespass tops.

Of course it's not. Information isn't beans because you can steal it without taking it.

He committed his crimes only in the states; he's admitted the damage, and admitted sustained attacks on foreign computers. I don't see how this is something to do with the one sided extradition treaty; he's completely guilty of what he's been accused of. More so, than Babar Ahmad.

Not too sure you have read much past his good pr team

I didn't think he'd ever been to the states, let alone committed a crime there.

We could copy the Septics completely & have elected Judges, dog catchers, sheriffs and district attorneys.

The full 9 yards.

Yeeeeehaw!

OK sheriff Zeity, we have rounded up the posse.

If you were rounding up the pussy I am sure MTT would help.

Would me opening and reading your mail before resealing it and posting it through your letterbox be a crime?

He hacked into American computers. These are on American soil. Even our electronic laws forbade such acts. That he then went and deleted all sorts of tulip, and did it over, almost, a 2 year period, in 5 (I think) US Government departments, means yes, he did commit the crime in the states.

You don't believe that as he didn't actually go there, he didn't commit the crimes there, do you?

Extrapolate the argument out a little...

Yes

[Zippy]

So if I chuck a rock at the American embassy and break a window do I get tried here, or do I face trial in the US?

Just curious ....

Postal Services Act 2000, Section 84

Banged to rights...
