British prosecutors have decided not to charge Gary McKinnon with crimes, but that's bad news for the alleged computer hacker. It opens the door for extradition to the U.S., where McKinnon could face much more serious charges. The London man is accused of hacking into 97 U.S. government and military computers to attempt to find evidence of UFOs.

If he’s looking for aliens, he should’ve checked the WH website. We have an illegal alien president.

	Ever since I hacked Eschelon to get Anna's private cell number black helicopters have been constantly flying over my back yard . . .

“McKinnon reportedly left a note on a Army computer in 2002 that stated, “US foreign policy is akin to government-sponsored terrorism these days.... It was not a mistake that there was a huge security stand down on September 11 last year.... I am SOLO. I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels.”

Christie said US prosecutors are likely to use this statement in an attempt to prove McKinnon was motivated by antagonism against US foreign policy rather than a quest for information about UFOs.

“It [would] show him to be much more deliberate, methodical and vindictive than otherwise,” said Christie. “I would imagine that the government is going to try to show that he’s not this eccentric, but that he is using that as his cover story where his real motivation is attacking the government and the military because of US policies.””

WHAT HAZ BEEN SEEN CANNOT BE UNSEEN!

Through the miracles of modern computer imaging technology blurry photos are a thing of the past.

This undated photo of a small blurry object (Lower left) appears as little more than a fast moving blob.



However with a little computer magic we can actually bring the object to crystal clarity and actually learn a little about the craft and speculate on what sort of being pilots it.

Great.

Now you've done it.

I hope not, that would take away all my fun!

I say extradict the sonuvabitch, convict him, and then hang the bastard.

This has nothing to do with UFOs, this has everything to do with a focused, concentrated hacking attack against United States military data systems at a time of national peril.

Execute McKinnon, that is the only appropriate punishment, but nobody in Washington has the balls to do it.
