The end of this countries world standing, Pending extradition of Garry McKinnon Options

[lordtup]

I, like many others, stand appalled at this countries treatment of Garry McKinnon ( the young man awaiting extradition to the USA charged with computer hacking ).
This has now come to a head because the Honourable Member of Parliament for Thurrock has resigned over the matter.( A man of high principle ).
No one is arguing the fact that he has committed a crime ( though it questions their systems security ),but the crime was committed in this country and therefore should be brought before a British court.
The plain fact is that our Government is so sycophantic towards the bully boy called America that it is doubtful that they get out of bed without the Pentagon's approval.
It shows the complete duplicity of the whole wretched lot of them when we are quite prepared to harbour certain preachers of hate because extradition to their own countries would result in swift justice,yet we kowtow to the Americans because they have some ambiguous stranglehold over us.
I would like to think that all contributors to this forum supports the last ditch efforts of his family to prevent him going to jail in a foreign country for possibly 60 years.
I personally would not have a clue how to hack into another computer,yet I am aware that this post will be monitored and no doubt my details logged as a subversive.
