Free Gary McKinnon

The interview used the image of the 1983 vintage Hollywood film WarGames

Gary managed to get some of his case for being tried here in the UK, rather than in the USA across in the short interview.

The former US official (now working in the private sector of computer security consultancy) Bob Ayers, was interviewed in the studio after the interview with Gary.

The reporter put the rather silly question about the suitability of hiring Gary McKinnon to test out the US military security systesm, a point which Bab Ayers naturally rejected, for obious reasons of trust rather than just technical ability, which Gary himself would probably agree with.

However what was not discussed was the degree of culpability of the the US Military in not securing dozens of their systems properly - no firewalls to the internet, no default systems administrator passwords set etc.

If there was any justice, then several US Generals and Admirals should be facing a Court Martial for the criminal negligence, which they were responsible for.

Also not discussed was the risk of Gary having to face a Military Tribunal, rather than the US Civilian Court system - he is, after all more of an "enemy combatant" against the US Military, than all of the British Muslims who have been interned without trial in Guantanamo Bay.

Neither was there time for a discussion of the extraordinary 4 year delay in this case, presumably for US political Presidential Election reasons, and the extraordinary use of the Extradition Act 2003 retrospectively i.e. after it was passed, against Gary McKinnon.
