You mean admit to something he didn't do to avoid summary punishment, and make life easy for your scum-of-the-earth politicians and their morally-bankrupt judiciary?

Something he didn't do like the admission referenced in the 2nd paragraph of this article?

I suspect ascan is referring specifically to the trumped up 'damages' whereby he magically inflicted $50,000 worth on multiple machine. (coincidentally the exact figure needed to enact certain legal protocols)

Thanks psych. I was indeed referring to that, although I thought I'd made that clear in a previous post.

Well, what a strange coincidence that is...

They are trying to make an example of him and they must be stopped...

And, er, can anyone explain what exactly damages did he cause?

Hmm... you mean the US government will have the best legal representation money can buy, and he'll get the crap normally reserved for your burgeoning underclass. Oh, and the jury -- a bunch of trailer-trash Yanks of average IQ who spend their evenings sipping bud whilst watching that Oprah woman or the ghastly Springer show. I bet over half of them won't even be intellectually capable of understanding what he's accused of.

BTW ascan I took vacation in New Zealand last May, there is a picture of me in Taupo in the Post a Pic stickied thread in the Members Forum, but don't let that get in the way of your cherished stereotypes.

Me? Stereotypes? Oh no... I tell it how it is, old chap. It's well known that you Yanks, statistically speaking, rarely stray out of the country. I could probably find a few figures to support my assertion over bud, Oprah and Springer, too, given some time!

It was even in my local newspaper, it's sad how they use him. Who's lacking empathy again?

Personally I think he should go to Scotland then with the help of fisheries of Scotland and Iceland travel to Iceland, and then apply for citizenship. They have a track record of opposing US extradition attempts.

I'd think the UK would have something to say about that then.

If he is granted citizenship in Iceland it is irrelevant what the UK or US have to say.

Maybe the US should offer the UK some oil and this will be a done deal.

Except for autism websites over here McKinnons case is largely unkown.

Which is unforunate really; not that it is unheard of outside of the autistic community, but that it is an issue within it. What is the claim here? That McKinnon was a slave to his obsessions and incapable of resisting? Is that the image of ourselves that we want to project?

It's widely known about in the UK and was on the BBC news headlines last month.

AS or no AS, the US are just trying to make an example of him because they know their systems were rubbish and they need a scapegoat.
