This whole farce is nothing but shooting the messenger. Who wants to bet that 90% of those unsecured systems he stumbled into are still unsecured right now?

Because the computers he hacked into are U.S. government computers, the sentence will be much more severe than the crime. This will most likely be a rubber stamp trial in which the defendant will be put away for a long time. The British government ought to protect its citizens rather than turn them over to the repressive court system of a country that does not respect people's rights. The proper course for the British government is to try this defendant using British courts and under British law. Defendant most likely has never even been to the U.S. Signed U.S. Citizen Maybe political asylum in some non-US controlled country is in order here.
