Gary McKinnon

Yes a big relief for all concerned. And good news that they are going to change the conditions so that people who committed crimes on Uk soil could be tried here and not extradited to US

So pleased news has come through that his extradition has been blocked. I think the US wanted to make an example of him their national pride was at stake as much as the fact that their systems were not as water tight as they thought. I don't think he should be imprisoned here either, he's clearly not a danger to society. They should make him give his services for free instead I think someone like him could well be a valuable asset these days.

baNANA you are right they could make use of his skills somewhere, he can probably show a few of the experts a thing or two.
