Gary Mc Kinnons life will be decided tommorrow , in a ridiculous situation which should have been sorted 10 years ago with Gary serving a six month community sentance.This has dragged on with the Pentagon wanting blood for their inept security and to hide their blushes! They know Gary is no terrorist!!All the main members of the current coalition supported Garys case against extradition when they were in opposition.
Now they are in power their support has been suspiciously quite !!

The extradition proceedings against Gary McKinnon have been halted for the time being. Nick Clegg was one of the most vocal opponents against the McKinnon extradition, along with other prominent politicians from the coalition. But will U.S. pressure be too much? Hopefully not. The new government have a serious commitment to overhauling the current UK/US Extradition Act.

Gary McKinnon, a British computer hacker who has been fighting a ten-year battle against extradition to the United States is set to learn his fate. McKinnon was a Scottish systems administrator when he found himself labeled as the biggest military computer hacker of all time by the United States. He was accused of hacking into computers at the Pentagon and NASA. The Home Secretary will tell parliament whether the government accepts medical reports suggesting McKinnon, who suffers from Aspergers and is on the Autism specturm, would be a risk to himself if he was sent for trial in the US.

McKinnon extradition fight 'cruel'

Gary McKinnon will find out on Tuesday if he will be reprieved from extradition to the US
Computer hacker Gary McKinnon's 10-year battle against extradition to the United States has been like "waterboarding of the mind", his mother has said.
Janis Sharp said the ups and downs of his fight were "so cruel" as she desperately hopes Home Secretary Theresa May blocks the extradition and ends his pain on Tuesday. McKinnon, who suffers from Asperger syndrome, admits hacking into US military computers but claims he was looking for evidence of UFOs.
Ms Sharp said: "It's like waterboarding of the mind - you're elated you're down, it's so cruel. I'm still scared and will be waking up at 3am tomorrow."
She did however admit that a Home Office report saying McKinnon was very likely to attempt to kill himself if extradited, along with a US defence expert's comments that hackers should be recruited rather than prosecuted, had raised her hopes.
Ms Sharp added: "It makes me optimistic, but nevertheless I'm still scared, we've had so many ups and downs."
So many, she said, that it had been "like waterboarding of the mind", a simulated drowning technique which became notorious after its use by CIA interrogators on Guantanamo Bay terror suspects.

Prime Minister David Cameron has raised McKinnon's case with US President Barack Obama twice "and each time I thought we were nearly home and dry but nothing happens", Ms Sharp said.
"I'm more optimistic now. I don't see how they could say that in evidence and then extradite. It's quite a change to how it was previously."
Both Mr Cameron and his deputy, Nick Clegg, have previously publicly condemned plans to send McKinnon to the US.
"People like this would not use Gary's case as a key part of an election campaign and then leave him for two-and-a-half years and then throw him to the wolves," Ms Sharp added.

Computer hacker Gary McKinnon's 10-year battle against extradition to the United States has been like “waterboarding of the mind”, his mother has said.
Janis Sharp said the ups and downs of his fight were "so cruel" as she desperately hopes Home Secretary Theresa May blocks the extradition and ends his pain tomorrow.
The 46-year-old who suffers from Asperger's syndrome - a high-functioning form of autism - admits hacking into US military computers but claims he was looking for evidence of UFOs.
Ms Sharp admitted that a Home Office report saying McKinnon was very likely to attempt to kill himself if extradited, along with a US defence expert's comments that hackers should be recruited rather than prosecuted, had raised her hopes.
But she added she was "still scared" ahead of tomorrow's decision.
"It's like waterboarding of the mind - you're elated you're down, it's so cruel," Ms Sharp said.
"I'm still scared and will be waking up at 3am tomorrow."
Two recent developments in McKinnon's case have allowed his mother to feel "more optimistic", she said.
A Home Office medical report now agrees with McKinnon's psychiatrists that he was very likely to attempt suicide if sent for trial in the US, where he faces up to 60 years behind bars.
And a US government adviser said in July that instead of prosecuting elite computer hackers, the US government should recruit them to launch cyber-attacks against Islamist terrorists and other foes.
John Arquilla, a professor of defence analysis at the US Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, said hackers like McKinnon were "like shy woodland animals" who should be employed rather than prosecuted.
He lambasted lengthy jail terms for hacking, saying it "poisoned" relations between both sides, and disagreed with the attempt to extradite McKinnon, who has been accused by one US prosecutor of the "biggest military hack of all time" using the code name Solo.
Ms Sharp said: "It makes me optimistic, but nevertheless I'm still scared, we've had so many ups and downs."
So many, she said, that it had been "like waterboarding of the mind", a simulated drowning technique which became notorious after its use by CIA interrogators on Guantanamo Bay terror suspects.
Prime Minister David Cameron has raised McKinnon's case with US President Barack Obama twice "and each time I thought we were nearly home and dry but nothing happens", Ms Sharp said.
"I'm more optimistic now. I don't see how they could say that in evidence and then extradite.
"It's quite a change to how it was previously."
Asked if she had allowed herself to get her hopes up, Ms Sharp said: "Yes, but I'm scared still."
Both Mr Cameron and his deputy, Nick Clegg, have previously publicly condemned plans to send McKinnon to the US.
"People like this would not use Gary's case as a key part of an election campaign and then leave him for two-and-a-half years and then throw him to the wolves," she added.
"It would seriously damage their reputations in terms of honesty and integrity.
"I will respect him (Mr Cameron) when I know Theresa May and David Cameron have the strength to say no."
For McKinnon, "this is the most dreadful time ever", Ms Sharp said.
"It's been so hard. People don't realise it's the only thing on your mind, there's nothing else in your life. He's lost 10 years of his youth."
She went on: "He just sits there. He's scared, he can't go out because people recognise him."
Despite being a keen musician, he has not picked up any instrument in years and, as he was banned from going online, he was "not allowed any outlet".
"He sits in the dark with his two cats," she said.
"I just hope that this is the end in a positive way and he gets time to recover."
McKinnon is waiting with "anxiety, but hope" that the Home Secretary will halt his extradition, his lawyer Karen Todner said.
"It has been a long 11-year battle to fight this extradition and we wait with anxiety, but hope, that the Home Secretary will uphold the promises previously made by Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg," she said.
"We hope that our elected Government will uphold the promises they made whilst in Opposition and will prevent Mr McKinnon's extradition to America."
McKinnon, from Wood Green, north London, was arrested in 2002, and then again in 2005, before an order for his extradition was made in July 2006 under the 2003 Extradition Act.
That triggered three successive applications for judicial review and questions about the fairness of the UK-US extradition treaty, which critics claim is "one-sided".
An independent review of the UK's extradition arrangements by Sir Scott Baker last year found the current treaty between the US and the UK was both balanced and fair.
But the Government is under pressure to ignore its findings after MPs called on ministers to bring forward new laws and attempt to change the UK-US extradition treaty.
In a House of Commons debate in December, Tory MP Dominic Raab said: "Gary McKinnon should not be treated like some gangland mobster or al Qaida mastermind."
If Mrs May decides to allow extradition to go ahead, McKinnon's lawyers are expected to launch a last-ditch application for judicial review to challenge the decision.
A provisional hearing date has been set in the High Court for November 28 and 29.
McKinnon refused over the summer to undergo further medical tests by a Home Office-appointed expert during his battle to avoid removal.
Michael Caplan QC, an extradition specialist at Kingsley Napley LLP, said the extradition arrangements should be changed to enable the UK courts to decide where best to try a case.
"It should be for a British judge to hear all the arguments in favour of domestic prosecution and balance those against the requesting country's application for extradition," he said.
Melanie Riley, of the campaign group Friends-Extradited, added: "Britain was sold a pup in 2003 - it's time for this Government to right the wrongs."
