| US authorities pursuing Gary McKinnon to the end |
| Tuesday, March 17, 2009 at 10:12 by Mark Benson |
Gary McKinnon, a Scottish born hacker who managed to gain access to the US government computer system, is today staring at the possibility that he will be extradited to the US over the next few weeks. However, he has gained a strong ally in Terry Waite the former Beirut hostage who believes the US authorities should be thanking Mr McKinnon for exposing weaknesses in their system rather than looking to put him behind bars for a large proportion of its remaining life.
For those who have followed the case, Gary McKinnon claims that he hacked into the US government computer system looking for information about UFOs although the US authorities claim that he caused significant damage and left a string of messages with regards the fight against terror. There is dismay in the McKinnon camp at the apparent lack of interest shown by the UK government in protecting a UK civilian.
The Home Office has neither stood in the way of the US extradition request nor asked for sight of evidence against Mr McKinnon. The situation has taken a turn for the worse as Gary McKinnon has recently been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome and there are serious concerns about his physical and mental health, should he be placed behind bars in the US. |

| I reaaly hope the gov' do something about this, the man is ill and it has been pointed out that he couldnt not help himself. Gary is innocent and I really hope he is saved.
Remember kids; information wants to be free, hack the planet. |

| I Hope that Nasa is exposed for lying to the public regarding UFOs. Mckinnon will be shut up before that ever happens, The gov. will say what he found during his hacking has nothing to do with Hacking We'll all see soon. Go Gary Go! |
