British hacker may face Guantanamo, 60-year sentence

An old story, and one which I haven't overlooked, but this guy must be going through hell*

My letter in The Metro of 12 May 2006: It's reassuring to know that  our legal system allows Afghan hijackers and foreign criminals to stay but is happy to allow the extradition of English born** computer-hackers"

Part of me has sympathy, and part of me thinks that for the $billions of damage, and the vast amount of inconvenience they cause all computer hackers should be shot.

I'm still undecided which position o take in this case.
