    I have done it...

    QUOTE: It is likely that if extradited to the US, Gary would be incarcerated in a super-maximum security prison. Conditions within such prisons may lead to extreme distress and a person with Asperger syndrome would be particularly vulnerable to developing mental health problems, especially as Gary would be denied access to those on whom he relies.
    I call on you to take urgent action to stop the extradition of Gary McKinnon, and to allow him to stand trial in the UK for a crime he freely admits committing in the UK.

    The NAS are not asking that he gets away with it they are asking for support so he can stand trial here in the UK.

    Even before the diagnosis, I had read about this case. The US governement want to throw the book at him because he embarrassed them. The so called damage is actually the costs involved in making the sight secure, a problem they wouldn't have even known about if Gary hadn't hacked them. It's misleading to say that he caused that amount of damage.
