*Yo Seth and All,
...YES, heard of this alright. Was waiting for MORE news on this...from his mom Janis...it would be TERRIFIC if the new government intervened in this horribly wrong matter. We did a 'Sweeps' Fox Show with Gary and kept up as much pressure as we could. BTW...'Simon' was on the phone to us during that show. This whole issue of sending Brits to be tried/extradicted to the 'States' automatically at 'their' behest...has to be 'the end all and be all' of US interference world wide. How the Hell could Britain have even gone along with such a political move and approve of British Citizens being 'automatically' on call by the 'States'? Maybe we all have some hope here/'S'

yup, I was in a shop buying lunch and the phone rang... Sweeps put me on air.

Stopping Gary's extradition is very much worthwhile - but only represents part of the issue. We need the info he found making public too.

OK, many will not believe him, as he was on dope, and has since been diagnosed as having a condition... in other words, he has been 'got at' to make everyone think that he is mentally unwell and as a consequent to make it easier to debunk the reality of any info about what he found.

*As when it 'plays out well for Gary', that would be OK. Then, if he were to release his info...lots of folks, who followed his plight/story from around the world, would 'take it in'. It would sure be 'A big stick in the eye' to those Hidding the Truth all these years...if Gary was Sprung, after all their attempts to silence, prey, & incarcerate him.
Meanwhile...we're hearing that the NEW government in Britain, while tightening everyone's belt, are perhaps going to SCRAP the ID Card, Not back the EU so fully, and certainly not going to give MONEY to bolster the Euro. Times are changing alright...there are some Beams of light around the 'Gatering Storm'. Hope springs eternal Huh?/'S'

*'Sweeps' NOTE:
…SAD Update here folks. CLEGG, the new Deputy PM has done a 180 degree turn, now wavering in his support of Gary McKinnon not being extradited after all. Read this whole 'Turn about' just below. Comments/opinions please. Thanks…and I'm completely set back by this political 'Lack of Will'/Flip Flopping/caving to the US, on this issue/'S'

LIB-DEM LEADER Nick Clegg has performed an about face on the Government's power to stop the US from extraditing accused UK hacker Gary McKinnon.

The Deputy Prime Minister has thrown the prospect of a Home Office tribunal for McKinnon into doubt after suggesting that neither he nor anyone else in the coalition can save the UFO hunter from a US show trial.

While out of the government Clegg was a long time supporter of McKinnon, believing extradition would be a contravention of human rights. He sharply criticised Alan Johnson, the previous Home Secretary, for claiming he was powerless to intervene.

"It's simply not good enough for Alan Johnson to shrug his shoulders and claim that nothing can be done," Clegg wrote in the Daily Mail back in 2009.

"It's completely within his power to enact amendments from the Police and Justice Act, which would allow Gary McKinnon to be tried over here," Clegg protested at the time.

Then, on a BBC radio interview yesterday, Clegg completely reversed his position. The powers he had claimed were possessed by Johnson apparently had somehow vanished once Clegg himself joined the Government.

"What I haven't got power to do, neither has the Home Secretary neither has even the Prime Minister, is to completely reverse and undo certain legal aspects of this," he whinnied.

Clegg continued, "That of course you wouldn't want politicians to do. That's what we are looking at at the moment. It's legally very complex. But on the sort of morality and principle of it, I haven't changed my view one bit."

What's going on? The new coalition government is already rolling over under US pressure to take McKinnon away for trial and likely a very long prison term overseas. Clegg's protestations that his moral view hasn't changed apparently will be worth nothing for McKinnon.

The US wants to get its claws on McKinnnon…after it claimed he caused $800,000 in damages during his searches for UFO coverups on US military and NASA networks. The US is still reeling from "the biggest military hack of all time" after being badly embarrassed by the autistic McKinnon.

A self-confessed bumbling computer nerd who suffers from Asperger syndrome wrote a simple Perl script that tied together other people's programs and searched for blank passwords, circumventing what should have been some of the world's most secure computer systems.

Now the US government wants to make a severe example of him out of a desire for revenge. And the lame UK Government won't prevent it.
