It's been six years since the alleged offences, plenty of time for the Yanks to sort out their data security and reassure themselves that Gary McKinnon didn't do anything malicious!
So why didn't the 'Law Lords' just tell the Yanks to f*** off?
Bastards, the lot of them.
The CPS Loses Yet Again...

A fascinating case - essentially Gary McKinnon is bang to rights on this one, but he's also completely harmless. The crime was committed in the USA, there is plenty of evidence, and Mr Mckinnon has already admitted to the crime - his specific motivation being to discover information held by the US Military on UFOs and Aliens.
Here's the original indictment, which helpfully publishes the IP addresses of all the systems hacked.
It was over two years after this indictment was issued that the USDA actually got around to asking for extradition. Now it's been almost six years. One wonders what they hope to achieve from all this. He's hardly a terrorist threat.
I don't condone any form of online vandalism, but I feel duty bound to point out that, if you must take on the global conspiracy to hide the truth about Aliens, and trawl military systems looking for "Area 51 - Contents of Hangar.xls", then as a general rule of thumb it's a bad idea to use a demo version of a systems admin tool that you downloaded using your girlfriend's computer and email address.
