Funny Defintion of Justice.....

But Gary is not a terrorist, he's a mild-mannered computer nerd with Aspergers syndrome who won¹t survive a year, let alone 60, in a US high security prison.

Wait, wait. Put aside for a moment that "computer nerd with Aspergers" is mildly redundant. Rather than argue for leniency because we don't know of much harm done, they're arguing that he shouldn't be tried in the country whose military he hacked because they don't think he'd survive prison? Note there's no reason given for why he wouldn't survive in max security-- which, from what I can find, involves being separate from other inmates. No, he's just a poor wimp, so he shouldn't be punished for breaking laws, it might be too much for him. A recap: he hacked into a foreign country's military computers. This is REALLY not a good thing-- I'm not surprised GB is handing him over. He's a forty-something year old sys admin. That's the same job Elf does. Amazingly, for a guy who was "just looking for proof of aliens," he found time to leave some notes:

“US foreign policy is akin to government-sponsored terrorism these days . . . It was not a mistake that there was a huge security stand down on September 11 last year . . . I am SOLO. I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels . . .”

At the link is further information:

Having gained access to these computers the appellant deleted data from them including critical operating system files from nine computers, the deletion of which shut down the entire US Army’s Military District of Washington network of over 2000 computers for 24 hours, significantly disrupting Governmental functions; 2,455 user accounts on a US Army computer that controlled access to an Army computer network, causing these computers to reboot and become inoperable; and logs from computers at US Naval Weapons Station Earle, one of which was used for monitoring the identity, location, physical condition, staffing and battle readiness of Navy ships, deletion of these files rendering the Base’s entire network of over 300 computers inoperable at a critical time immediately following 11 September 2001 and thereafter leaving the network vulnerable to other intruders. 14. The appellant also copied data and files onto his own computers, including operating system files containing account names and encrypted passwords from 22 computers comprising: 189 files from US Army computers, 35 files from US Navy computers (including some 950 passwords from server computers at Naval Weapons Station Earle); and six files from NASA computers. 15. The appellant’s conduct was alleged to be intentional and calculated to influence the US Government by intimidation and coercion. It damaged computers by impairing their integrity, availability and operation of programmes, systems, information and data, rendering them unreliable. The cost of repair was alleged to total over $700,000.

Buuuuut he's just looking for little green men! Ignore that he shut down Washington Army computers shortly after 9/11. Repeat after me: he's just a poor nerd!
