Gary McKinnon's House of Lords appeal hearing date seems to be set, provisionally, for Thursday 19th June 2008
Ellen Hart, Elec.Eng.Tech.
I am not a lawyer but I can read. And this is what it says:
Magna Carta 1225
------------------
Clauses marked (+) are still valid under the charter of 1225
------------------
+ (39) No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land.
note: The Extradition Treaty has not been ratified and therefore is not in effect.
P.S. Power to Gary!!!

@ Ellen - unfortunately the Extradition Act 2003 was rubber stamped into law, before the Treaty was ratified by the USA, so it is definitely in force here in the UK.
The Magna Carta of 1215 was revoked by Papal Bull, a few months after it was sealed (not signed) in Runneymede, essentially as fast as a messenger could travel from England to Rome and back via medieval transport.
It was incorporated into English law later e.g. 1297
See Wikipedia Magna carta article

The rule of law must be upheld. Gary must stand trial in a US court of law. After all if an American was to conduct a criminal offense agaisnt England he/she would be handed over to British Justice.

@ John - The rule of British law must be upheld.
Nobody has ever been Extradited to the United Kingdom to face Computer Misuse charges.
Currently the 6 month maximum penalty under the Computer Misuse Act 1990, precludes Section 1 offences of unauthorised access ("hacking') from being serious enough (penalty of 1 year or more in prison) to be eligible for Extradition.
That will change some time in April, when the penalty goes up to 2 years in prison maximum, when the amendments to CMA brought in by the Police and Justice Act 2006 which are currently on the Statute book, will probably brought into force by Order.

Even then, the situation of such a hypothetical US defendant would not be the same as that which Gary McKinnon faces. If someone in the USA did exactly what Gary is accused of, remotely over the internet, in the UK, then the UK authorities would have to to show prima facie evidence to a US Court, which has not happened in Gary's case, due to the dreadful Extradition Act 2003.
A hypothetical US defendant would, even if extradited, and found guilty, never be facing 70 years in prison - the most notorious multiple murder or espionage cases have not exceeded 45 years in prison
At such a hearing, the vastly exaggerated claims of actual financial damage would be be challenged by the defence lawyers, and probably thrown out of court.
There is no reason why Gary McKinnon could not have been tried fairly and proportionately, in the UK, under the Computer Misuse Act, which has been applied to computer hacking cases in the USA before, and which has world wide scope.
Honeybear
Jay,
I'm glad to see that you're back battling for your son. I'm very impressed with your agruments against his extradition. Are you married? I'm a single. If you're married, I respect your cultural choices. In other words, I'm Old Celtic and you're not.
You've known that your son Gary is being treated in a extraordinarilly heavy-handed manner. Have you wondered why? Of course, your son is special, as are all children. But, why the U.S.E.B.E. (the United States of America Engineered Biological Entities, the "Land of the Greys" for short) full-court press?
Here's why.
The inhabitants of the planet Zeta Reticuli manufacutured the "greys" (Engineered Biological Entities, according to official "Grey"/Amero nomenclature) as a loop-hole to the Intergalactic Prime Directive of non-interference in less developed civilizations, such as on planet Earth. They're the bad-guys in the intergalactic war between good and bad that you may have heard about. Although, the war is still not decided and the "greys" are rumoured to be defeating the good extraterrestrials and may have already won, here on Earth, the Good (Dagda) are still present.
The "loop-hole" was brilliant on their part and as soon as the Zeta Reticulians grow legs and arms, they can set up a law practice in London, advertising as the first to find a loop-hole to the Prime Directive. Sick F_cks, such as the "Zets," would probably agree to represent Gary.
Gary penetrated N.A.S.A. and the "Grey" Department of Defense. Briefly, it doesn't matter in the world of espionage if Gary was always re-directed to a 1 Mega-byte Virtual 8086 Real Mode Virtual Machine on an Intel (Copyright) Central Processing Unit (286 (copyright) and above) through a dumb terminal in a C.I.A. Psychological Operations unit. What matters is what Gary did with his penetration, real or psudo-.
Gary, as no one can deny, did not fold under pressure and refused to cooperate with the U.S.E.B.E. at the meeting at the "Grey" embassy in London. That pissed off the "Greys."
But, that's not the whole story. The inhabitants of the planet Zeta Reticuli want to dominate the Universe. They created the "greys" (E.B.E.) as a "cut-out." The "greys" are concious beings and therefore, they're responsible for their actions. Furthermore, the good Extraterrestrials will attack them for violating the Prime Directive, before attacking the Zeta Reticulians who remained on their planet, watching reruns of the Benny Hill Show.
But, the E.B.Es. are genetically programmed to seek out proto-advanced civilizations and seed the most war-like with advanced technology and re-inforce their un-ethical philosophy. The pre-Grey U.S. came to the "grey" attention when it was the first to set off atomic weapons. But, the "greys" are acting independently of the Zeta Reticulians even though they're unknowingly doing the bidding of the "Zets."
Human Americans are now allies of the "greys" and that's why they're on space ships along-side the "greys." If the U.S.E.B.E. succeeds in controling the whole world, then the "greys," and the Zeta Reticulians will have allies in the war against the Dagda.
The star map that Betty Hill saw was of the civilizations that the "greys" have infected; not trade routes and partners; are mutulated cow bits and Barney and Betty Hills physical exams worth all that effort.
The good extraterrestrials will have to attack the "infected," such as us Earthlings and then the "greys," before dealing with the "Zets." If I'm ever charged with public drunkeness, I want to be represented by the law firm of Zeta, Reticuli, and Grey.
God save Gary and God save you and me.
Honeybear
fg and Jay,
fg, I love your logic. I'm now using my UK e-mail address as part of my effor to boycotte the U.S.E.B.E. (the Land of the "Greys").
Jay, I kind of wish that you were my mother, but, not really as you'll read below. I'm glad to see that you're back battling for your son.

Ooops. Looks like Honeybear's off his meds again.
This is an interesting link that puts Gary's case in some perspective:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/03/06/pentagon_breach_assessment/
Honeybear
So true, Marcus. I ran out of oatmeal stout.
I'm having an even harder time finding the seven easy steps to remote viewing by Jim Marrs.
The theft of my copy of the book by Jim Marrs, PSI SPYS, was very effective. Ive got to hand it to the Men in Black.
I also f_ck_d up with Jan's name. No wonder she hasn't called.
Now for something very important for Gary. If British law requires British citizens to contact their local Special Branch office whenever they have contact with someone who is in the military or intelligence community of a foreign country, then if Gary did NOT report his contact with the female N.A.S.A. lab technician in building eight of that Florida, U.S.A., N.A.S.A. base, Gary could be charged with a very serios crime under British national security laws.
In that case, the extradition would be dropped and Gary could plead no-contest to the crime of not reporting, if he'd receive no jail time and no fines. Twenty years of community service would be an honourable sentence and would take the American ("Grays") and British governments off the hook of this embarrassing episode.
One more thing. The list of Americans Space Officers and the huge N.A.S.A. photo of a U.F.O. orbiting Earth, may have been legitimate. The anti-"Grays" underground in the U.S. military, may have fed it to Gary in order to fight the "Grays" take over of America and eventually the world.
The Zeta Reticulians engineered the "Grays." That means they're different than them. They may really be Sponge Bob without legs and arms.

@ Honeybear - this is not true:
Almost every country has such foreign military / foreign intelligence contact reporting rules, but only for the people who are actually working for the Government on top secret projects or who are stationed in embassies etc. overseas. It is not illegal for normal UK citizens to do so, even supposing that they know exactly who they are in contact with.
To quote the Home Secretary Jacqui Smith recently on 21st February 2008:
when debating the scandal of the bugging in prison of the supposedly legally privileged conversations between Sadiq Khan MP and his constituent Babar Ahmad, who is also facing extradition to the USA, with similar fears about Guantanamo Bay or similar non-civilian justice or detention
You do not have to invent any new crimes for Gary to be charged with, he could already have been charged here in the UK under the Computer Misuse Act 1990 at any time since 2002, which would have taken precedence over any foreign extradition request.
If convicted or acquitted, he would not be liable for extradition to face charges, on the same facts.
Honeybear
I was afraid that the reporting rules applied only to those holding security clearances or in certain jobs.
In a telephone interview with wired.com, Gary made the below statement.
"I also got access to Excel spreadsheets. One was titled "Non-Terrestrial Officers." It contained names and ranks of U.S. Air Force personnel who are not registered anywhere else."
"It also contained information about ship-to-ship transfers, but I've never seen the names of these ships noted anywhere else."
Would you do us the favour fg, of giving your opinion as to how Gary knew that the spread sheet of "Non-Terrestrial Officers" contained names and ranks of U.S. Air Force personnel who are not registered anywhere else?" To what other places is Gary comparing the names and ranks, in your opinion?
Also, concerning the ship to ship transfers on the spread sheet that he never saw the names of those ships noted anywhere else" - to where else is he refering?
We can't ask Gary and probably, neither can you. But, could you please give us your opinion?
Did Gary ever publicize the names of the Non-terrestrial Officers? It may be important. During the J. Edgar Hoover leadership of the F.B.I., there was a Mormon cabal in the upper levels of the F.B.I. That was very valuable information to other intelligence services, if not international criminals operating in the U.S. The names of the Non-terrestrial Officers could give us a clue about a certain sector of American society that is working with the E.B.E. ("Gray").
Also, if the list is fake, the names would give valuable information about the people who created this piece of disinformation. Psycho-linguistics.
The names of the ships would also provide valuable information about the people who gave the ships their names including part of their intentions. The names could also be compared to the names of other U.S. military ships and thereby provide valuable information about official U.S. military policies and maybe a separate chain of command.
I really hope that you can provide a link to the actual names of the officers and ships. Thanks.
Jay
Any news/update on the ECHR outcome Re-Babar Ahmad's case.
I noticed that his website is down which surprised me.
By the way Honeybear. My dads 1st language was Gaelic and he didn't learn English until in his teens.
Gary is Scottish, British & European.
Jay
Honeybear
I'm glad to know that Gary's team is full strength, including his family.
I was thinking - not one of my strenths - and realized that the reason for Gary believing that the names of the Non-terrestrial Officers differed from the names on the many other lists of U.S. military officers that Gary found, is that the Non-terrestrial Officers are officers in corporations, not the U.S. military. That may be one reason why the U.S. dropped the charges against Gary that involved private companies - defense contractors. The U.S. government is keen on out-sourcing - Haliburton and Blackwater are two examples of what can go wrong with privitization.
Also, according to some U.F.O. researchers, U.S. military personell are put on "detached service" and then are employed by defense contractors in order that the U.S. government can avoid accountability. Go to Area 57 or Dulce, New Mexico and you'll be turned back by private security.
Gary's list may be of a defense contractor or group of contractors.
The ship transfer list could refer to companies using the made up names of phoney ships. Also, the ship names could refer to departments in a defense contractor or a group of defense contractors at some classified base. Even so, the names of the ships would give us a lot of information about the people who made up the names. Is there a particular group of Americans who are the principle leaders in government U.F.O. coverup; Americans who share certain traits, such as religion, who's choice of ship names would give them away? The Mormons who had and may still have a faction in the top leadership of the F.B.I., had to have acted in a certain (a pattern) way in accordance with their belief system that would have or is giving us clues about their identity.
After Gary has told British security services all that he learned, couldn't he give us at least the list of ship transfers?
GO TEAM GARY
Honeybear
The U.S. non-terrestrial officers and the space ships may be part of what's known as Solar Warden. Check out
http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread213974/pg1
Also do a search for Serpo
One listing "is a site that is intended to facilitate the gradual release of confidential documents pertaining to a top secret exchange program of twelve US military personnel to Serpo, a planet of Zeta Reticuli, between the years 1965-78." It's at
http://www.serpo.org/
A recent book about the Barney and Betty Hill abduction states that Zeta Reticuli is a planet. The author may have been refering to planet Serpo.
The above two sites prove that Gary did not make up his claims to have seen a list of Non-terrestrial Officers and inter-fleet transfers between space ships, that he compared to the dozens of other lists of names of U.S. military personel and ships that did not match those first set of lists.
As a licensed practicing Skinnerian behaviouralist (animals), specializing in learning (and mood altering drugs), I know that even though Gary was under the influence of both marijuana and alcohol when he saw those lists, he is able to recall the names of the active duty U.S. Military personel and ships, because he compared them to the other lists that he uncovered. That required intense intellectual activity which moved the names into his long-term memory. If he had just looked at the names and then moved on, they would not have transfered to his long-term memory, unless he had the same training as espionage agents.
They're in there Gary. Post them, so that we can compare them and find patterns. Thanks.
JUST MY OPINION......
I am an american and I can tell you if you send that man back to America they will give him life.I have been locked up in the prisons over here,they are very unfair and it;s a horrible place.I hope that this man's counry stands behind him and does not let America get there hands on him.Does America overlook the fact that they have been lieing to us all this time about UFO's and such.The American goverment is run by a bunch of anti christ crooks and liars,our goverment is full of murderers and child molesters,they hand out long term punishments to other Americans over here for breaking the law,the same crap there doing behind closed doors and getting away with.If you go on the internet and search you will find the papers that were drawn up where our president raped a women,who happened to kill her self right before the court date.I forgot to mention she was also pregnant to,george Bush never served a day in prison for rape,as a matter of fact it wasn't in but one newspaper in the whole united States.it was hushed up and brushed under the rug.I hope that London protects this man,if he is going to be tried than PLEASE do it there.Don't give this country a chance to make this man suffer because he made them look like the liar's that we and our goverment really are.
fg
@ JUST MY OPINION...... - do you have any actual proof of your very serious allegations about your own Government or are you just expressing your own hatred of them ?
Just because something appears in a newspaper or on the world wide web, does not, of itself, make it true.
Scott
If the US Govt has such secret data. Why would they have it accessible via the internet?
If it was so secret, why would their computer systems be so easy to hack into?
If the data was so sensitive. Why would the Govt even acknowledge its existence?
The whole thing is ridiculous.
If people in charge of such "secret" data are that stupid. THEY should be held accountable for allowing the data to be accessible so easily. It should be under Very Heavy lock and key. AND NOT ON THE INTERNET OR CONNECTED TO ANY PHONE LINES.
Put THOSE govt people in prison.
Not the curious ordinary citizens.
This is Madness.

Gary is in for a shock. i thought people could not be extradited if there life was in danger. well his life will be in danger being a white man by the gang called the nation of Islam. i know iwas three. DC jail where he will be sent. wecome to HELL 2,500 men most murders crackheads rapest,s. i pity him.
Gort
Gary is being made a example of. In a intelligence perspective it could be seen as a snub from the US
to UK whose 'extrodinary rendition' laws were a advent
of Muslim fundamentalist attacks on September 11.
Looking at his dossier he simply used freely avliable
tools to get into DoD files so he was a 'toolbox hacker'
and not the cleverer 'coder hacker'. He obviously got access to some NASA, DoD and NSA stuff which must have got allot of people worried on Windows machines- obvious
hacker targets. If Garry could get in then
who else (not so nice people and spies) could get
up to? There are many hacker legends of hackers getting
the 'unattainable prize' but its often up to the viewer
to make their own conclusion. Garry is a white hat hacker as he could easily sold his secrets like a black
hat would.....but he only wanted knowledge on a rather
pressing subject in human history and not much else.
Garry's case has been going since 2000 odd with no end
in sign I wonder why. I wish him the best and a fair
trial in the UK which he is entitled to atleast.
Ian Fraser
Recent condemnation of the Chinese governments decision to execute Akmal Shaikh on the basis of mental disorder/instability serves to highlight the double standards of the UK government. Seems that it's OK to extradite a UK citizen with a PROVEN mental condition while demanding the repatriation of a convicted drug smuggler with a SUSPECTED mental condition.
Good luck with your campaign, I hope that good sense will prevail, but with the current UK government that is a big ask!!
Irene Allum
People with Aspergers need a person to look out for them. These people (carers) are paid benefits by the government, because this is a recognised medical condition. If Gary is extradited will his carer go with him as well? If not then he surely can't be extradited,because his mental state will not be protected. The USA won't care whether he's got Aspergers or diarrhoea. All they're interested in is getting they're hands on Gary, and all Mr Brown is interested in is being a good boy and doing as he's asked. Why doesn't Mr Brown or Alan Johnson give him a lethal injection now, after all, his life won't be worth living if he's extradited. What a country we live in, if we can't protect our most vulnerable people, from not only other countries, but our own politions as well.
