British hacker Gary McKinnon, tinkerer in U.S. military systems, has all but lost his legal battle to avoid extradition. What’s worse? That his real crime was to reveal his supposed victims’ criminal incompetence and expose a lopsided extradition treaty, or that the British press will bullshit relentlessly about his likely sentence–and portray Aspergers sufferers as mental and moral infants–just to hype his story? And then there are his laywers, ready with the ultimate moral blackmail: He’ll kill himself if forced to face American justice.
