He is accused of hacking into thousands of American military computer systems between 2001 and 2002 [according to a UK press article]
In another report the figures don't look so bad.
"McKinnon accessed 53 U.S. Army computers, 26 U.S. Navy computers, 16 NASA computers, and one U.S. Department of Defense computer,"
Or was he looking for information on UFO's as he says?
His QC said "The US Government wants to exact some kind of specious administative revenge because he exposed their security systems to be as weak and helpless as they were."
That being the case I suppose anyone could have done the same thing using low-tech methods. Perhaps you were lucky it was a Brit and not someone who wanted NOT to merely do damage but just to remain at the "back door" and gather intelligence and seek out your volneribility.
I'm surprised that someone as good as Mr. McKinnon at getting into all the places he is alleged to have done, got caught. Interesting point here is that a system that traced him was not efficient enough to have blocked his alleged attacks.
Particularly so, when he could have been right on the ball in looking for information on UFO's "shortly after the attacks" on 9/11/01. What with all these mysterious flying objects that we have seen in 9/11 videos. Was he right on the UFO trail before 9/11 researchers were.
In this other report it states:-
"McKinnon, speaking in an interview with Bloomberg after the verdict, said he didn't feel comforted by U.S. diplomatic assurances that he will be tried in a federal court in Virginia rather than by the U.S. military. McKinnon, an unemployed computer systems administrator, said he fears he will be indefinitely imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba if extradited.
``I don't believe America is a just democracy,'' McKinnon told Bloomberg.
McKinnon has admitted leaving a note on one U.S. Army computer reading: ``U.S. foreign policy is akin to government sponsored terrorism ... it was not a mistake that there was a huge security stand down on September 11th last year ... I am SOLO. I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels,'' Mark Summers, a lawyer representing the U.S. government, has said."
Notice that McKinnon is quoted directly in one short sentence but note the longer passage quoted by Mark Summers. Did McKinnon really say what he is aleged to have said. Only, that is "fighting talk" and is bound to enrage all of America.
This is a second guy who has prosecuted himself [here it is in the press] - there was Zacarias Moussaoui who did a good job on his own prosecution and put himself away for life. Is Gary McKinnon going to do another good job of putting himself away for a long time? Has Mr. McKinnon been talking to people here in the UK who have gone direct to US government prosecutors?
Is this guy almost saying he was responsible for disruption to US systems on 9/11/01 and his cyber-terrorist name is SOLO?
Strangely enough this passage alegedly spoken by McKinnon speaks of 9/11 being "last year". This article, updated 10/5/06 therefore resurrects something that he might have said in 2002. Four years ago.
If Gary McKinnon was a bad arse, as it is aleged I'm surprised he has been free as long as he has. It's taken a long time for the UK to get into extradition proceedings, proper [the case is being heard now at Bow Street magistrates court].
Is it just a coincidence that the Zacarias Moussaoui case has closed in the US just recently and now the UK proceedings on McKinnon's extradition is now going forward?
I'm wondering if McKinnon is another one of these western Islam converts?
