British Hacker On Terrorist Charges?

A hacking story this, missed it one yesterday but it seems like Gary McKinnon, who denies the allegation of doing over a half million euro worth of damage to Nasa and military systems by hacking in 2002 may well be facing a lengthy spell in Guantanamo Bay. If the trial goes ahead, George Bush himself is within length to execute Military Order Number One – detaining McKinnon in the US for an indefinite period.

McKinnon claims that he had been trying to expose bad security systems for some of the nations top computer networks across 14 different states while looking for government held information on UFOs.

But $700,000 worth of damage and a spell in Guantanamo Bay? Hardly…
