UFO ‘secrets’ could land UK hacker in Gitmo
A UK hacker who studied US military computers to find secret evidence of alien life and technology faces up to 70 years in a US prison.
In an interview with the BBC, McKinnon said he got into the networks quite easily, simply by using a Perl script that searched for blank passwords. Embarrassingly for the US military, that means computers in the top-secret networks could be hacked using active default passwords.
Unsurprisingly, McKinnon wants to be tried in the UK because he says the crimes were committed on UK soil. He also says he did not damage the systems he trespassed on.
IMO: This seems to be yet another foolish act by the British Courts, who are excelling even themselves these days. This is possible because of foolish US extradition legislation by Blair and hamfisted actions by the Labor authorities. Labor seems to be begging us all to vote Tory by now. I know for a fact that UK judges are often too incompetent to give correct verdicts nowadays, and that is what seems to have happened in this case too. People can go out and take drugs and alcohol, be promiscous and have their bastards supported by UK taxpayers - that shows what a 'liberal' country the UK is. But if a devout Muslim woman wears a nicab then she'll be publically admonished by a Labor MP. And if a hobbyist writes a Perl script some Yankee General disapproves of as it show up his incompetence then the judge won't even know what a Perl script is and he'll send you to Gitmo ! (of course, the judge may well be too busy carrying out his normal pedophile activities anyway).
