My Mate Gary McKinnon, by alsbabar on Jul 30, 2008 18:13:44 GMT 1, my friend Gary McKinnon today lost his appeal not to be extradited to the USA to face charges of terrorism and hacking.
Totally top bloke, and he DID hack in for a laugh and he IS a proper UFO/Conspiracy geek. I' ve known Gary since I was 11, we went to school together.
Such a shitty shame that politicians are making an example of him

No surprise he is good friends with Alsbabar as I guessed correctly that most of his circle would fit the 'slightly camp' category.

My Mate Gary McKinnon, by goffy on Jul 30, 2008 19:37:35 GMT 1, I'm sure the americans will go all out trying to convict him but really, WTF was he thinking. Stupidity is not an excuse especially when the yanks are going over the top on terrorism.

My Mate Gary McKinnon, by alsbabar on Jul 30, 2008 23:04:50 GMT 1, we lodged an signed petition to Downing Street, it would appear even our own government want the USA to make an example of him
that is the worst, when your own government wont try to help you
European Court is his last hope

My Mate Gary McKinnon, by bert on Jul 30, 2008 23:31:58 GMT 1, It's a disgrace they are extraditing him.
Why not use his obvious skills for good use (e.g. cracking padeo rings or spotting flaws in security) - locking up a man for years who is clearly no threat to anyone is just ridiculous. I agree with brun, I would just go on the run I think if I was in his shoes.

i agree with that statement,
no doubt they will use him for that.
but its an intresting read but a situation which must be very tuff considering he hasnt caused any direct harm to anyone

My Mate Gary McKinnon, by jonesy on Jul 31, 2008 12:05:32 GMT 1, The major issue is he has humiliated them, and for that he will pay...I have long ceased being amazed at how petty big organisations, government depts., police, even social services can be to those who have shown them to be incompetent. He would have been treated better, if not got off entirely, if he had been an employee who stole thousands via computer fraud; as a whistle-blower (internal or external) he's kebabed.

My Mate Gary McKinnon, by sahoria on Jul 31, 2008 12:12:15 GMT 1, it is shame what has happened but think if he is moved to the states he could possibly apply to actually help out the government agencies there being ethical hacker for corporations... has happened before and sure they are interesting in finding out how he penetrated there defence on there secure computer systems... i wouldnt know what to do in his position but i would try and offering future help to them and seeing what they will do...
it is embarrassing for the government over there and here aswell but to lock away someone who has the skills he has wouldnt be productive and they could use someone like him to secure there networks more better... hopefully he wont go there and there will be change of heart by the government....s

I hope it works out OK for him
