He needs emptional help and stability, he needs above all understanding and and from what I undstand our present Pm and the one prior to the last election have pleaded woith the USA to drop the demand to extradite him!
I only hope we have the balls to stand up to the USA and say NO! he will stay here and recieve the care he needs because I don't trust the US government to treat him with due care because if they cared they would not be demanding his removal from Britain.
I feel really strongly about this case.
Regarding Gary, he gave an interview a year or two ago to a group interested in UFO/Alien stuff. I watched the video and the details of what he actually did and how the US government has treated the case is ridiculous.
Gary is by his own admission no hacker, he had access to limited hardware, only had a modem for internet access and his knowledge of hacking, like most people's is effectively zero. He managed to get into NASA and pentagon files because the idiots didn't set up a password, effectively the admin password was left in a default setting "guest" "demo" etc. He didn't break in so much as open an unlocked door.
When the police raided his home his computer was confiscated and sent to the US (illegaly
) since then the evidence has not seen the light of day and he has been accused of causing in excess of $200,000 worth of damage to military hardware.
He didn't find any real volume of information because his dial-up-internet connection was too slow. In the interview he spoke about what he had come across. He found no evidence of aliens as he hoped, but he did find a database of NASA images which all (or at least those he viewed) contained images of what you or i would call an unidentified flying object; cigar shaped objects, strange lights, saucers etc. He also found copies of some of the images which had the enigmas airbrushed out.
He also found a personnel list for some kind of NASA operation with collaboration from the army, accusations of militarizing space are more severe, as it would violate international law as far as i know. Of course there is no evidence of what Gary found its all a matter of what he remembers.
Aside from that, he has claims he found nothing else of interest.
Sorry for going off on a tangent, but i thought the details of the interview might be of interest particularly as it may no longer be online.

But... I can see why people think the opposite too, because somehow along side all the great achievements, you have people like Sarah Palin who are to be frank terrible representatives of America, as they make so many gaffs that they just feed the stereotypes ...
