British 'superhacker' Gary McKinnon fights extradition to US

Gary McKinnon told the highest court in the land that he was the victim of an oppressive prosecution by US authorities who had abused British law by trying to force him into a plea bargain. Mr McKinnon, 44, a systems analyst, is accused of causing £475,000 worth of damage by gaining access to 97 computer systems belonging to the Pentagon, Nasa and the US military.
He claims he was only looking for evidence that America had concealed the existence of UFOs.
