UK to Extradite “UFO Hacker” Gary McKinnon
The BBC reports that British Home Secretary John Reid has signed the extradition order for alleged “UFO Hacker” Gary McKinnon:
A Home Office spokesman said: “On 4 July the secretary of state signed an order for Mr McKinnon’s extradition to the United States for charges connected with computer hacking…Mr McKinnon now has the opportunity, within 14 days, to appeal against the decisions of the district judge/secretary of state.”

This has been on going in the British press for a while. If I was him I would hide somewhere. Getting extradited to the US of A is hardly going to help him out.
the again his own testimony does sound a bit shit.
