Hacker Loses Extradition Appeal

In 2001 and 2002 Gary McKinnon gained access to the Pentagon and NASA computers looking for evidence of UFO's! There were no firewalls nor any password protection. Each time he gained access he left messages telling people that he had been there! Now the USA has gained the right to extradite him to stand trial with the chance of 70 years in jail. This is justice gone mad! He admits to his wrongdoing and is prepared to stand trial here in Britain where the offences took place. It is very wrong that British citizens can quite easily be extradited to the USA, but the reverse is almost impossible!
