The Administrative Court (one of the High Courts) has certified two questions on points of law, for the House of Lords (the highest Court in the the United Kingdom) to consider.
The House of Lords is not automatically bound to consider this final appeal, e.g. they chose not to do so in the case of the the NatWest 3 bankers
Media statement from Gary's solicitors Kaim Todner:
We are pleased to report that the Administrative Court have certified two questions of being of public importance in the case of Gary McKinnon. These questions relate to the diplomatic note confirming that Mr McKinnon will not be treated as a terrorist under Military Order No. 1 by the American Government and secondly the conduct of the American Government in offering Mr. McKinnon a plea bargain but only on the basis that if he did not accept it he would subsequently not be repatriated if extradited to the USA.We will now be applying for leave to the House of Lords for these points to be argued in full.

I went to Babar Amadh's web-site and I couldn't locate a Haroon Rashid Aswat. fg should be commended for making us aware of others sharing Gary's plight. Unfortunately, Babar doesn't have a link to Free Gary.
I'm just about finished reading the book entitled: BLACK FEMINIST THOUGHT and fg seems to be aware of the concept of the matrix of intersecting oppressions that involve: sexism, genderism, racism, classism, ageism, and nationalism. Without fg lecturing, by reminding us of and putting links to Babar and others, this web-site is making things better for all of us. It's similar to that T.V. commercial that goes something like: "First they came for the Jews and I did nothing, then they came for the homosexuals and I did nothing, then they came for the Gypsies and I did nothing, then they came for the Catholics and I still did nothing because I wasn't a Catholic, then they came for me and there was no one left to help me." Babar, wake up, put a link to Free Gary. Gary is not of the oppressor, just because he's not the same as you.

Here's something really wierd. During the '50's, a mind control technique called Subliminal Seduction was developed. An author by the name of Vance Packard wrote a book on it. Essentially, a phrase such as "buy candy" was flashed onto movie screens and Television screens, too fast for viewers to be conscious of. But nevertheless, this message was perceived by the viewer and it acted as a post-hypnotic suggestion causing some viewers to go to the concession stand and buy candy. Instead of words, pictures of a parched desert would also be flashed on the screen, too fast to be concious of, yet causing some viewers to purchase soft-drinks. Later, frightful subliminal pictures were flashed, causing fear in viewers, in order to enhance the movies and T.V. shows that the viewers were concious of watching.
The BBC just had an article about flashing lights on a T.V. screen, the Olympic logo to be precise, causing epileptic fits in some viewers, on Tuesday 5 June 2007

Everyone knows about using moving patterns and lights in order to induce a hypnotic trance. Instead of the C.I.A. using a Skinnerian Behavioural technique of alternating schedules of re-inforcement, which can be quited boring, on Gary when he unknowingly connected over the Internet to the Mother of All Bio-feedback machines - a main-frame computer the size of an aircraft carrier - the C.I.A. who were monitoring Gary's entries into U.S. government computers, may have transmitted subliminal messages and flashing lights
to Gary's computer in order to induce hypnotic trances and plant post-hypnotic suggestions in its mind control attempt on Gary.
In other words, Gary's mind contains the post-hypnotic suggestion that the intelligent female N.A.S.A. scientist in Building Eight, who confided in him that N.A.S.A air-brushes photos of U.F.Os. is really a frightful alien. When or if British Intelligence tries to de-brief Gary using hypnosis, in order to find out what the Americans did to Gary over the Internet, they'll be blocked by the post-hypnotic suggestion that the scientist is really an alien. All other avenues of inquiry into Gary's mind are connected to this fear inducing post hypnotic suggestion and will cause British Intelligence to stop the inquiry because of the severe physiological affect that Gary will exhibit.
Gary is certainly not aware of the full extent of C.I.A's. successes in crawling into his head. I hope that his psycho-therapist can figure out what went on in there.

@ Honeybear - the cases of Babar Ahmad and Haroon Rashid Aswat are not really linked at all, but their Appeals have been considered by the legal system together
See their Appeal Court judgement back in November 2006:
http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2006/2927.html
and compare it with Gary McKinnon's in April 2007:
http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2007/762.html
You can see that the questions of law considered by the Appeal Courts (still nothing to do with any actual , even prima facie evidence against any of these people) about Military (commission) Order No. 1 and unsigned diplomatic notes is the same in both cases.

fg -
I printed out both Appeals Court judgements and will read them forthwith. The U.S. Federal government stopped my Dept. of Vet. Aff. pay on Nov. one of last year because I'm a dissident - they broke all of their rules and regulations, that's my proof. I'm behind in my rent and the natural gas, water, and electricity have been cut off, forcing me to spend $5.00 an hour at the local computer store in order to go online. So, I'll read the print-outs at the local McDonald's restraurant - every cloud has a silver lining.
Just looking at the title of Gary's appeal demonstrates almost everything about Gary's case is wrong. For example, it states:
Between:
Gary McKinnon
Appellant
- and -
Government of the USA
Secretary of State for the
Home Dept
Respondents
========================================================
There is no U.S. Home Dept. I read about cases in America being thrown out for misspelling by one letter, the name of a defendant. Of course, Gary wants his appeals to be heard and if his U.K. lawyers are responsible for making up a Home Dept., he'll remain silent. But, there's some very suspicious aspects to Gary's case.
Another thing, every nation's intelligence service would de-brief one of its citizens who had, during the course of one to two years, attempted to obtain information from the military and intelligence services of a foreign country. The main reasons for doing so would be to learn how the foreign intelligence service fed Gary false information, the names of the people in the foreign intelligence service who came in contact with Gary, and the other ways that the foreign intelligence service handled Gary. Furthermore, British Intelligence would want to know if the foreign intelligence service had any foreign operatives meet Gary in London - not necessarily American or British citizens, but probably some foreign national working for the C.I.A.
Another thing is, the Americans are keen on mind control. Gary's interaction with American intelligence over the Internet is made for mind control. British Intelligence would know that the Americans want to de-brief Gary in person; either in Britain or America in order to obtain feed-back on their special project - GARY. In the real world British Intelligence wouldn't give away a valuable assest like Gary unless they know what the Americans did or have America's assurances that Her Majesty's Government will receive copies of Gary's de-briefings and interrogations in the U.S., during the next 70 years.
I'll bet you everything I own that British Intelligence keeps Gary, there's so much they don't know. Ask John La Carre (Cornwall) or that Sleles character from M.I.5 who fled to France and then return to the U.K. a few years ago. It's called trade craft or stupidity bordering on treason.

@ Honeybear - "The Secretary of State for the Home Dept." refers to the British Home Office (or "Ministry of InJustice"), and to the UK Cabinet Minister in charge of it the Home Secretary , currently the ex-hardline Communist John Reid, who is conducting the notorious Extradition proceedings according to the Extradition Act 2003 not to the US Department for Homeland Security, who have nothing to do with Gary's case.
Gary McKinnon is not an agent of any intelligence agency whatsoever - even the US authorities accept that, otherwise the charges against him would have included espionage, which they do not.
Honeybear
fg,
Gary is not a British Intelligence Agent (B.I.A.).
Gary is an Intelligence Asset (I.A.) Gary's brain (the physical brain as well as his mind (black box)) contains a record of the C.I.A's. mind control conducted on him.
M.I.6 is in charge of foreign intelligence. They would be stupid beyond description to give Gary to the Americans because Gary's brain contains alot of information about American intelligence and military that he saw when he penetrated American computers. Names he saw and a host of other info. Sources and Methods. They want Gary so that he never gives up what he saw.
Even if Her Majesty's Government has assurance that it will receive copies of all of Gary's debriefings and interrogations during the next 70 years, I cringe thinking about a 110 year man, strapped into his wheel-chair and having needles stuck under his finger-nails.
