He's a genius. The British government should clearly hire him when he's done his time.

How flawed are their systems if someone can hack them? Not good news on that front!

Sascha, London,

He was looking for evidence of UFOs. In the past week one of NASA's astronauts has claimed that the Pentagon has possessed such information for decades, upon which he himself has been briefed at the highest level. Scepticism aside, one can only wonder at the real motivation behind any prosecution.

Alastair, Alicante, Spain

Gary McKinnon is a genius....

He has no place in Jail...

CPG, lyon, france

There's an opurtuntity here to make the Lisbon treaty more palatable in EU skeptic states like the UK ,I wonder if the EU has thought of it ? Like the U.S. Consitutution , a last minute amendment could be added, vetoing the extradition of EU citizens from EU soil.

Simon, Doncaster, UK

When US and UK Governments hack into everyone elses PC's and taps into phones it's under the guise of hunting terrorists - They have created a big brother society and woh betide anyone who steps out of line. Big brother is watching - hates it when you watch back!

Steve Edwards, Neath, South Wales

It's time we woke up to the freedoms we have lost because the USA and UK tell us all we are in danger we just sign away our rights to freedom. This guy deserves a medal - about time we fought back for our freedom. Turn the tables on surveillance society!

Steve Edwards, Neath, South Wales

Time to revoke US independence. It is obvious the insane have taken over the asylum. Best of luck mate.

Robin, Antibes, France

For over a century, Irish Republicans have sought and found legal refuge in the United States. Such individuals were rarely targeted by immigration policies for previous politically-motivated offences nor were U.S. extradition warrants granted to the uk

dave watson, chorley, uk

The British should show some self respect it's like the
father obeying every command the child is making
USA is dictating like they always do.This man should be
punished under the British law.

Chandon Miah, London, UK

What did happen to all those IRA murderers protected by the USA? Ater the British surrender (I'm sorry; Peace process) did they simply get amnesties? How many Palestinian terrorists have US sanctuary? I'm afraid that we are very much outside the magic USA/Israel axis.

Eric Skelton, Cardiff, Wales

I hate to say it, but the US aren't on a quest for justice here but out for petty revenge.

McKinnon didn't get in because he was such a clever "hacker", he got in because security ranged from shoddy (accepts access from unsecured systems) to non-existant (no passwords).

He made them look stupid.

Golodh, London, UK

He trespassed into a unlocked house, looked around and left a post-it on the fridge for the owners to say that they forgot the door unlocked. Now the owners are embarrassed, and want to lock him up for 70 years. He didn't kill anyone. This is a human rights violation, not a criminal punishment.

Martin, Leicester, England

Why so many people think this guy should be offered a job?
He didn't do anything hard. He broke into some systems with poor passwords and gained access to an ammo depot nowhere near the mission critical systems... and GOT CAUGHT. He can't be all that brilliant ... he believes in UFOs!

Joseph, McClean, USA

If some of these systems werent even so much as password protected then technically he hasnt hacked anything, simply connected to another "unpassworded pc" which to my knowledge isnt illegal, this guy should be employed by the Americans and the security specialists at the us military sacked!

Dave Wills, Hebden Bridge, W Yorkshire

sounds to me like they are trying to make him a scapegoat after 9/11 because if they say that it was his fault for their computers crashing at a "critical" time then it would remove the blame from the incompetency.

joe gaines, ilfracombe,

This outragous,when will this country going to stop dancing to the US"s tune,they didn't send the marines who murdered Terry Loyd,to the inquest,so why do we co operate with this sad country

KENNETH BOWRY, LONDON,

I believe that anybody who can gain and take advantage of any secured system should pay a price, However, going 60years in jail in the states will not prove, nor accomplish anything.
He most likely has shown and lightened up there flaws and forced them to use better sources of protection.

Joshua Higgins, Portsmouth, England

To Kim du Toit I say - For gods sake this man didn't MURDER anyone in their beds! Typical bloomin' Yank reaction - exagerrate, obfuscate and overreact! This is why this "hacker" has NO chance of a fair trial in Yankland. A guy brings low the mighty US with a 56k modem, what a hoot!

ANDY FAULKNER, Burntwood, ENGLAND

Breach his human rights? He should have thought of this before committing the crime. He deserves to have the book thrown at him - make him an example, then hopefully others will think twice. You do the crime, you do the time!

Chris, Shrewsbury,

Surely under English Law he has a right to have his case heard in a court of HIS choosing,{here in England}, after all the 'alleged offence' would have taken place in England.
The Pentagon would do better to offer him a job as a Consultant, their actions are making them look foolish.

Clive Burghard, Lancing, ENGLAND

All over the world computer users have to suffer intrusive internet security systems because of people like mckinnon. I'm glad he's facing a long gaol sentence in another country for his crimes. Why should he get away with it because his crime was against a foreign nation while he hides in Britain?

Chris, Derby,

I think the network security is vital to all user ,especially to the regime.So we must take care of the environment around the net work.

nicky, beijing, china

The American response is disproportionate. What they are suggesting is dracanion. It would be a breach of his human rights to send him to the USA to face such ridiculous consequences. The USA should just up.

Chris, Northumberland, UK

When the Empire says "jump!" you jump. British independence went out of the windows years ago.

Now it's client status.

tom, rotherham, england

If he hacked into the computers why doesn't he use the government's secrets as leverage; that is, threaten to reveal the government's deepest secrets unless they drop his extradition.

jerry, jerrytown, u.s.a.

"CIA won't employ him, he's too bright, they'd all be scared of him."

Yeah right!

He is not that bright. He got caught. The folks at the Pentagon aren't that dumb, they caught him.

The bright ones don't get caught. The TRULY bright ones turn their skills into a marketable commodity.

Joseph Suriol, McClean, USA

Government systems worldwide are routinely hacked, not uncommonly by professionals employed by other governments. That does not excuse this man for breaking the law but it does raise the question of where the line is drawn between right and wrong. A hacker is a hacker, no matter what hat he wears.

Richard Crow , Warsaw, Poland

McKinnon is an authentic British antihero We always support the underdog against the prevailing masters of the universe. The public should rise up and support him and the security services could use someone computer savvy like him..Instead we are prepared to sell him down the river to Guantanamo.

William, Guildford, UK

The US Government and military are probably more worried that this guy has found out the real truth about who amongst them is behind the 911 and London tube murders. Lets see them set up an independent investigation of these with the same determination and urgency, both here and in the US.

Billy Carlin, Paisley, Scotland

At a time when this Countries commercial and government systems are being probed and infiltrated by orchestrated attacks from Russian and Chinese sources maybe we should be utilising his talents to help prop up our own National Security.

Mark, Liverpool,

Where he went wrong was that he didn't convert to Islam and make threats to kill, or incite people to commit acts of terrorism. Had he done so he would have been able to spin this whole extradition process out for years longer

Richard, Bexhill, UK

When was the last time a citizen of the USA was extradited to Scotland or England from the USA?
I wonder if McKinnon was English the English High Court would have taken the same decision.

Shane, Hamilton, Scotland

So, let me get this straight. A man breaks into a house, and murders all the occupants in their sleep. Instead of him being imprisoned, what most commenters seem to be suggesting is that the security companies should be offering him a job as a "consultant" to prevent such occurrences in future? Bah.

Kim du Toit, Plano, Texas, USA

IRA murderers and Saudi crooks both deserve to be punished, but that shouldn't stop this man also being punished for his crimes. The answer to criminals escaping justice is not to release more.

greg, Wigan,

Wow, that's a lot of sympathy for a guy who broke the law. Is it okay to break the law because security was lax? Should we forgive his crimes because he was after alien information (which I doubt)? Listen, I love liberty and am counting the days until Bush is gone too, but crimes must be punished.

Tom, Denver, CO, US

10 years for leaving the US government with egg on their face. Embarrassment can leave a bitter taste. Good luck Mr McKinnon

John Moat, Wallsend, UK

The Pentagon should give him "top dollar" to provide them with a hacker proof computer system, or is there something we are not being told?

gerry, merseyside, uk

If he can break into Americas secret services, then our secret services should keep him and get him to work for us- not just give him away to be in a jail somewhere in the US

kevin, London, UK

Do the crime, do the time. Why should he not be accountable for his actions? I bet he doesn't feel half as clever now...

Tom, Aberdeen, UK

in terms of hacking, i doubt he did anything profound. So no job there. Commentators who suggest that are fanciful

What this does show is that Britain has no ability to stand up to the US - the legal system, the political domination, or whatever. Talk about being a client state !

mark, Birmingham,

It's amazing how much effort our Government put's into freeing suspected non national terrorists from the US justice system, yet hands over a UK born and bred national over at the drop of a hat without a fight. The message is loud and clear!!!

Arthur , Luton, UK

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Phill, The Wirral, England

He should be sentenced heavily so he is made an example of what could happen to hackers as they feel quite safe operating from their bedrooms and such and rarely would give little thought to their actions and real world implications.

Rob, Manchester, United Kingdom

It seems as though the US military is as good at managing their computer systems as they are at managing a war. They should be hiring Mr McKinnon as a security consultant rather than prosecuting him.

Bill Peter, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

What special relationship they get anybody the request, in support we get sub-prime, bus/tube bombers and friendly
fire who needs the USA anymore, bye-bye

tommy, watfrod, uk

It is debateable to say he damaged the US servers. He seems to have identified weaknesses they should have known about and would have had to fix anyway. Agreed what he did was wrong but it was hardly criminal. Having unprotected servers handling national security was criminal! How embarrassing!

Kevin Miller, Tonbridge,

IMHO, this man is a terrorist. Perhaps his cause was not the same as most terrorists, but his actions were equally destructive at a most critical time.

He should face consequenses that fit the crime, and his crime could have hurt all of us much more than just the loss of data, face, and funds.

R. Timmerman, Sault Ste Marie, Canada

The guy knew what he was doing, he knew it was illegal, he deserves what he gets. I notice all the lefty twits moaning about America. This has nothing to do with America, Iraq or war and everything to do with someone who broke the law.

Andrew, Sutton, UK

what about the irish terrorists we want back here?
it has to be a two way arrangement

A. Kernahan, blackpool, lancs

The guy is accused of being a hacker who damaged other people's property. He allegedly committed his crime against property in the United States that belonged to the US Military. He should be extradited to stand trial where the crime was committed. If he's innocent he'll get a ride home.

Jill, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

All hackers - considering the damage that they can do to businesses and security systems - should get life. It might be 'cool' for them but when you lose your business, or lay the way open for another country to attack you, you should be punished BIG time

Phil, Preston,

Well cheerio Garry enjoy your stay I bet your new chums will be pleased you are sleeping over

Jason Bierce, Richmond , england

When are we going to stop handing over anyone when America demands, how many Irish terrorists did they send to the UK?, that one is easy to answer... Everyone should get a hold of their MP and demand they stop this...

Ian Hendry, Boston, US

They should be thanking him, he's highlighed a huge hole in their security.

CIA won't employ him, he's too bright, they'd all be scared of him.

Wayne, Midlands, UK

This isn't about England having to bow down to the wishes of the United States. This is about some fool doing something foolish. It's a royal pain in the rear because now security measures have to be changed. And it impacts everyone involved including England. That's why they handed him over.

Willie Lee Green, Corpus Christi, Texas

Also, I know some people have already written this. But, what about the IRA killers, paid and supported by the US? I didnt see any qualms about funding these terrorists before 911. Now they know what its like to be attacked!

Rob, London,

People seem to be missing the point. The quality of the network security is irrelevant. If you walk into a house uninvited because the door is unlocked, it is still trespassing. If he's smart enough to hack into the systems, he should be smart enough to work out the consequences.

Rich, London,

The truth is he made the US look fools, and America does not like that. They should employ him, their experts that protected their computers were not up to much were they.
He will not get help from G .Brown because he is a control freak and people with a skill to undermine him are dangerous.

Paul Adams, Skarinou, Cyprus

He's just acquired a job for the US military without having to write a CV.

The 'holier than thou' lot would surely like to know what he found out and being in the same position would probably do the same.

Seems the UK IT education curriculum is working in schools!

Good luck fella!

Barney, Liverpool, United States of UK

To conduct a security review of the US armed forces on the same scale which was obviously needed at the time would have cost millions upon millions. They owe him a lot of money and time by my reckoning for services rendered. Most people forget that he practically give himself up.

Owen, London,

I remember when this case first came to light that Mr. McKinnon said that many of the US Military servers actually had no password protection. Who else was monitoring these Military computers!! This is a total mess for the US Military and are looking for someone to publically blame.

Tom, Ballina, Ireland

The USA have always point blank refused to hand over criminals wanted in this country, such as IRA terrorists (who were actively encouraged and supported by the US government and it's general populace) and yet they demand it of us and we oblige every single time. Why?

j Roberts, Manchester, UK

Hacking into computers should be treated the same as breaking and entering or burglary. How far should computers be protected by clever software and hardware ? they already have the equivalent of bars on all windows and steel triple locked doors.

calamico, BOURNEMOUTH, UK

In my opinion if the US netwrok security can fall down to a single 34 old guy using his pc in his bedroom, it deserves to be hacked.
Think what could happen if 100 hostile agents working on supercomputers in a protected warehouse could do.
Either that or the guys a bloody genious. BRAVO MATE

Davo, Sydney, Australia

This is disgusting. britain has become a major Butt kisser of the US.
So we cant extradite people there but they can extradite anyone from anywhere? pathetic.
they'll either hire him or electrocute him, its the only 2 things they have ever been good at.

Sam, Bridgend, Wales

He broke the law, he damaged government equipment and services, he cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars oh and did I mention he broke the law. In the new age of the internet individuals will have to be held accountable to the laws of the countries that they hack into.

D. Fitzsimmons, London, Canada

He WILL be sent to the USA, He WILL go through the worst nightmare of his life.Washington DC Jail. His life will be in danger by other inmates for being a white man, and know one will help him. UK government do not care. i know i was there under double jeopardy.I was kidnapped by these people.

mark , Birmingham, U K.

wheres the actual physical evidence of the damage he caused ... lets not forget that the yanks can extradite anyone from the UK without actually having to provide evidence ....

nsef, london, uk

Strange how we give everyone up to the Americans yet they refuse all co-operation when it is an American that has done wrong?

Trigger, Peterborough, UK

In my job I am sick of having to deal with the results caused by idiots like this because they think its 'cool' to hack or release viruses & junk mail 'because they can'. This was not just a prank, if it was tried in the UK, he'd get community service and told not to be a naughty boy.

John Clark, Sheffield, England

he has done nothing that should warrant such treatment. We should not bow to America and surrender any BRITISH citizen to their lawyer led court system.

mike allen, Preston Lancashire, England

the uk has shown, once again, its being a slave of the usa

time to revive the meaning of those words in the national anthem?

jane, Somerset, UK

Serve him right,he knew exactly what he was doing.No doubt all his costs are being funded by legal aid ie you & I are paying

Bob Greenaway, Tamarin, Mauritius

It was doomed to fail.....Thanks to Blunkett's one way extradition law...Think Nat West 3 and very soon a handful of BA directors.

Martin, Stonehaven, Scotland

Ufo's and Et's are a reality. It's just a matter of time before the facts are made public. I think it's for the best. We need to know that we're not alone.

Tel, Dublin, Ireland

And the moral of this story, is dont mess with the government. Go kill civilians, rob them, mug them, hurt them, thats okay, but DONT mess with the government. Thats the message they are sending out.

Arthur, Newcastle,

So, somebody who has never been to the USA, is not a US citizen, and has operated out of his own bedroom, can be extradicted and possibly face the chair or a spell in Guantanamo.

All you need to know about the gravelling state of modern client state Britain.

tom , madrid, spain

Good - he deserves to be dealt with harshly as a warning
to other hackers. It may have started out as a challenge to him but where now. With the hackers warned off playing with the big boys computers - they are all going to go after the soft targets such as us at home on our own personal computer

karen, cheshire,

If deleting a few files put their networks out of commission for 24 hours, that is a damning indictment of the US governments network managers / technicians and their system recovery procedures. Anything so critical should have been back up and running within a couple of hours!

andy faulkner, Midlands, England

When will people realise that life is not a movie, and if you go hacking into government (here or abroad) computer networks, you will feel the full force of the law.
This was a serious breach of security, & it also disrupted military operations. Now he must be a man a take the consequences.

Pete, St Albans, England

My websites have been hacked many times before after months of work. Other peoples sites are hacked many times losing them years of work. Does anyone care? Do you see anyone chased by the laws for this? No! When it comes down to government, they chase them. Its the US own fault for not preventing it

Simon, Caleta, Spain

It's fairly unlikely G.Gibson - what he achieved was done so via password brute forcing and using default admin/guest logins to access information. Hint to American National Security: User Login: "Admin" Password: "Password" won't keep out hackers.. or even a Monkey with a keyboard.

Brian, Newtown, Wales

In times where the UK and the USA are constantly warning of hacking attempts by foreign governments, for us to be handing over such an asset is ridiculous. They should be offering him a job!

Ed, York, UK

When I practiced law, we judged cases on the evidence available. In the case of this man, no evidence has been placed before any UK court. Indeed, the alligations made by the USA legal team have become more fantastical by the day. Justice would not be served by his extradition or rendition

Simon DeVille, London, UK

A long sentence is appropriate --- for those who were tasked with SECURING these systems. It should have been impossible for even a military power to achieve what Mr McKinnon managed.

John H Woods, Stratford-upon-Avon, UK

agreed, he'll be working in the pentagon soon.

chris, rochdale, uk

US military computers must be vulnerable if an amateur could hack in using standard computer hardware. Shudder to think what a professional team could have done. Caused the US to fire off missiles at all and sundry, perhaps? Could be argued that Gary did the US military a service, by giving them a heads up.

Andrew Milner, Karuizawa, Japan

This is a travesty of the law. It is so unjust it is difficult to believe that its true!

Stefan Dowsing, Malaga, Spain

Any fool can see that this guy actually hacked into the US military department's skills market - even a fool in uniform. He's going to work for them in the end -they are just using jail as a bargaining chip against the demands he's going to make for a loaded salary cheque. Wouldn't you do same?

haralambos, joburg,

I have no sympathy, whether you work in IT or not, you know that Hacking is illegal. Whether it was malicious or curious intent that drove him is irrelevant, he admits to hacking and must pay the price.

But I also agree with the other comments that there is a disparity between action & sentence

Craig, Birmingham, UK

Yet another example of the abuse by the authorities of the law put in place to extradite terrorists. Are we to assume that neither UK nor US government agencies are hacking into the security systems of other countries? When can we expect reciprocity from the US to allow us to extradite their people

David Leighton, East Preston, England

Yeah yeah yeah, all Americans are bad, all hackers are innocents playing and I know next weeks Lotto numbers.

Bob N, Brisbane,

This person evidently has a brain cell or two, so also evidently is unemployed by choice. Hopefully not receiving benefits.

Gerard, London, UK

Peter. Give him a "meddle" - no pun intended of course!

Dave, New Haven,CT, USA

There was a time when it was rule Britannia, and America was just a colony. Britain is no more now then the 51 state of America. Americans click their fingers and Britons jump and say yes sir how high. Thanks to Blair and more recently Brown for making it worse.

A Baker, Geneva, Switzerland

It might be fair for the US prosecutors to offer him a plea bargain again since he is unfamiliar with the system. He needs to get a US attorney as soon as possible, its all about playing the system. . . those that don't understand how to do it get screwed.

Chris, Crawfordville, US

It was probably a real laugh to hack computers and cause turmoil in other countries. He probably considered himself a real big somebody hacker -- up until the time that he got caught. Then he started whining about innocent fun and curiosity. Let him be judged by the country he wronged.

Dan F, Oxford, UK

The Yanks aren't so quick when it comes to reciprocating this extradition treaty. Another example of the UK grovelling to the US. I hope he gets off.

Albert Hall, kettering,

I bet they will give him a job....

jhon, london,

Our MPs should be impeached.for creating such a preposterous offence. Such scoundrels deserve medals as they test to destruction systems that should already be tamper proof. Our ire should be turned on the system designers - if they are so useless, our enemies have free rein.

palepete, Ferndown, UK

If this guy was any other nationality, these pages would be filled with comments like "hang him", "throw away the key" and the like. Nice to see hypocrisy is still the No 1 British pastime.

Here in Ireland we know all about the British "Justice" system.

John Claro, Cleggan, Ireland

This guy of course has broken laws, however he has also shown the 'States' they are not the super power they deem themselves, if he can hack them then so can numerous middle east and far east countries, now that would cause an issue.
So really the question really is, did he cause delibarete damage

Richard , ipswich,

How many suspected IRA men did the UK try to extradite from the USA?

Hypocrites!

A thorn, London,

This is a total disgrace, pity he wasn't just bribing the Saudi royal family then the law lords would have let him off scot free. More respect for "the law"? Don't think so....

Chris, Lincolnshire, England

You folk at the Times ought to "bookmark" this chap.

Five or ten years down the road he might just be off in a backroom of the US embassy in London hacking his heart out against dark governments etc as part of the payoff for his sin.

Actually a follow-up might set him free from his misery.

G.Gibson, Sydney, Australia

If he can do that what about others maybe less friendly?

L Homshaw, Durham City, UK

G.Gibson: unlikely, they have enough experts themselves. More likely is they want to make an example of him and show the world that, whereever you are, you are subject to U.S. justice whereas in contrast, they never extradite a U.S. citizen to somewhere else. Britain should have tried him at home.

Matt, Wuerzburg, Germany

Couldn't agree more. Make the poor man's life an absolute misery by which time he'll be putty as soon as he's 'in their hands'. One day I hope he'll find a way to get very rich from all of this - book and/or film; talk about breaking the butterfly on the wheel!!!!!?????!!

Rowg, London, UK

the defence dept. should pay him or give him a meddle; if that chap could do it and tell them how he did it, presumably any geek could do it- an enemy geek maybe- so he's done them a favour

peter c, devizes, wessex

This judgement is outragous. - Probably. The U.S administration taps into any computer/phone call they like, internationally, and this is one reason that there are moves for a Bushco impeachment consultation. It's the same here in UK- pick on the little guy. www.campaignforliberty.com

davina, St Albans, England

Hacking US military computers and making them play tic-tac-toe almost sounds like story line to a film.

Barry Lupson, Romford, UK

He did the crime so he should just shut up and do the time. This fool new what he was doing was wrong yet he did it anyway. Cyber criminals are a problem all over the world and affect millions of innocent people, and people like mckinnon should be penalised heavily when they are caught.

Chris, Derby,

The US plea bargin system circumvents any justice. Fear and threats ensure that the 'not guilty' plea is becoming history.
The 'US Justice at any cost to the innocent department' is a disgrace.

andy, London,

Doesn,t say much for the US Military computer Nerds if a single guy in his bedsitter can break into their system.They should be grateful for the wake up call and hire him.Good Luck.JBP.

john price, boca raton, usa.

Wow ten years for looking at their computers. Thats a little crazy. He didn't even have malicious intent or intend to cause harm. That should be a fine or community service not a decade in jail.

David, London,

It's about time that hackers were hammered; them and those creating viruses. Only when someone does go down for 20 ot 30 years will they get the message.

Rod Baker, Cape Town, South Africa

Let me see, if you incite violence and are a real and definate thread to the population of the UK then we cannot extradite you but if you are a genius with a cheeky sense of humour then you better pack your bags now. It is a shame Mr. McKinnon isn't a Muslim.

Phil, Epsom, England

not being funny but given the over-reaching War on Terror and the climate of secrecy and distrust that creates, i am somewhat amazed that a casual guy off the street can with a little application and learning access so many vital areas.

musfaffa, eastwood notts, uk

The British and U.S alliance knows no bounds.

Where is it all leading?

Fred, Delhi, India

The CIA or US Defense will have him working for them in no time.
Its probably why they want to extradict him.

G.Gibson, Sydney, Australia

If he is so clever that he is capable of getting into the systems he should be hired not jailed forever as he will be. They want to see him fry to pay for their inadequacy and shortcomings.

Richard Roe, UK,

Shouldn't those responsible for the security of these systems be held accountable, aswell as the hacker?

I say employ the guy to improve the security of these systems, he is obviously very adept at bypassing security, and unemployed.

Nick, Cleckheaton,

The devil finds work for idle hands. I wonder what great things this bloke would have done if he'd have had a job. We really do waste talent in Britain!

judy, Liverpool, England

They should give this guy a medal for exposing enormous incompetence and complacency in their systems ultimately leading to a more secure environment, not burn him at the stake to satisfy their egos.

It is a scandal the British legal system has surrendered over this extradition.

Martyn, calvia, spain

I don't see how a vindictive prosecution is somehow going to allow lax security to be covered up. He hacked and now he's got to pay the price. If the motive of the U.S. government was to somehow hide their own shortcomings they could have simply not charged the defendant and avoided all of this.

Robert, Boulder, USA

Funny isn't it. When US service personnel kill UK or other countries' service personnel or civilians, the alleged killers never face the consequences of their actions. But when the US wants people, eg the Natwest 3, then somehow, they get their way.

Peter, Medina Sidonia, Spain

This man isn't a terroist, he doesn't pose a threat to any other living creature. SO why lock him up for 70 years??? Violent rapists only get 5.

fred, topfield,
