Gary Mckinnon is no different to any other cyber criminal

I’m afraid I don’t feel particularly sympathetic to Gary Mckinnon.
The papers have reported that he has threatened to commit suicide if he
is extradited, but that’s not a good reason for blocking his
extradition. After all, there are hundreds of prisoners in UK jails who
commit suicide because they can’t face going to jail. Is that a valid
reason for not jailing them?

 

The whole outcry over his extradition smacks of anti-americanism.
There’s a very simple lesson here: If you don’t want to be extradited
to the US, don’t hack into the Pentagon’s computers.
