OK, thanks for the correction - I just remembered they were going to extradite him and at least a lower court OK’ed that.

But what’s really strange is that they would extradite their own citizens (examples provided in article) and refuse extradition of a foreign national. OK, each case is judged on its own merits, but no country should ever extradite their own citizens. Try them at home if you must.

McKinnon is almost as old as me, and I am 40+, lol.

That’s why there was a public campaign to stop his extradition. Many find the US-UK agreement lopsided, and many asked why a Brit (and one with Aspergers) couldn’t be tried in the UK, as he committed the acts sitting at a UK computer.
