The case of Gary McKinnon continues to cause unrest. The UFO Bureau has been in touch with Gary and his supporters and we back the campaign for him not to be extradited.
The Daily Mail has just done a really good story on this and on the number of celebs who are standing up for him.
While we accept that what he did was misguided, it certainly does not deserve the 70 year sentence being threatened (which is just a tad better than the threat of 'frying' him when he was first caught).
There are a number of reasons for our stand.
First, the extradition is nonsense for the 'crime' committed (and that's leaving aside the fact the Americans haven't signed their extradition treaty which means we can't have Americans stand trial in the UK).
Gary committed his crime in the UK and should be tried here.
And we have some respect for the notion that Gary actually did the American authorities a favour by exposing just how easily it was to break into their 'secure' computers.
His case comes up again this week and we should all support him.
