Last moments of freedom for McKinnon
|
UFO hacker Gary McKinnon's last chance of avoiding
extradition to the United States, for a trial that could lead to
70 years in prison or an indefinite term at
Guantanamo, takes place on February 13, when his
case will be decided by London's Court of Appeal. Since his
crime took place on UK soil, he wants to be tried in the UK,
and is appealing extradition to the United States.
McKinnon's hacking of NASA computers was accomplished by
simply finding systems that had blank passwords and opening
them. He did no damage, and reported that some NASA files
made reference to an apparently extensive secret US manned
presence in space.
While he is apt to get a fair trial in the United Kingdom, there
is every likelihood that the United States will treat him as a
terrorist and he will disappear into the night and fog of
American justice. If he is tried, conviction will be virtually
automatic, and sentencing brutal.
Ken Lewis writes in the New Zealand news site M-net that
McKinnon, who broke into US military computers and found
evidence of aliens and UFO technology, faces up to 70 years in
a US prison.

special
reason to do this), you should investigate the
