A British man who allegedly crippled US defense systems in the “biggest military computer hack of all time” could be sent to Guantanamo Bay if he is extradited, his lawyer argued. …Washington wanted “administrative revenge” on his client, Gary McKinnon, because he had exposed embarrassing weaknesses in its IT security.
My oppinion on digg:
You would think that instead of Guantanamo the govt would want to keep him in a federal prison and employ him to do nothing but try and penetrate the system to find more holes.
This man is obviously talented. I read another article in which he described how he got in… very interesting. If he was a terrorist/spy then we would have sold all his techniques to Al-queda or some other country. Even if he was a terrorist why not use your more talkative enemies to understand the techniques of the enemy at large.
Sounds like some government manager's pride is hurt.
