computer hacker sold out to the yanks

[andy at handiwork]

It certainly looks like a very lop-sided arrangement where we will allow a British citizen to be extradited to a country that would never recipricate without a lot more evidence.

The UK-US Extradition Treaty 2003 is an absolute disgrace. As disgraceful is the underhand and anti-democratic manner in which it was passed into law... [quote]There was no parliamentary debate or scrutiny of the new treaty. It was drafted by Home Office officials and their US counterparts, signed on behalf of the UK by the Secretary of State and then published two months later.

In the UK the treaty became law through a process known as 'Orders in Council', which was not subject to full parliamentary approval, but instead discussed at Standing Committees in the Commons and the Lords. In both instances there was significant concern expressed as to the inclusion of the US as a country not having to provide evidence.[/quote]

This is a seriously black day for the UK. A man with a serious recognised psychological illness sold off to our so called allies. Could he end up on Death Row or be stuck in some hell hole state correction facility and get beaten shitless and abused by real criminals like miderers and rapists?
Who really runs Britain these days? No 10 or Capital Hill?

Well on one hand the yanks are demanding him and yet they refused to extradite IRA members.
But on the other hand the fucker is guilty and don`t give me the "he`s got assburgers " bullshit. If he`s that fucking bad he doesn`t know hacking the Pentagon and fucking up their countries security and potentially leaving them open to attack then he shouldn`t be roaming the fucking streets free.
its a cop out the little shits trying to use to get out of being ass raped in jail.
Will that shit fly then if I go out and shoot some schoolkids? "Oh its ok, he`s got assburgers"

One things for sure he doesnt belong in prison. His arse will be as wide as the dartford tunnel after a week,does he deserve that for what he did?

[mrchapel]

Yes, he does. He either knows what he did was wrong, in which case he`s guilty or he doesn`t know right from wrong in which case he`s a danger to society. I bet there`s shitload of hackers around the world thinking "If I`m caught I`ll claim to have assburgers"
