Gary McKinnon faced extradition to USA
Given the habit in recent years for the UK Government to slavishly jump whenever asked to do so by the USA
(see http://tinyurl.com/9pvaxes),
I fully expected The Home Secretary Theresa May to announce that the Government had agreed to extradite computer hacker Gary McKinnon to the USA, where he faced a possible 60 yrs in prison
Instead she has accepted medical opinion that Gary, who has Asperger’s syndrome would be at serious risk of committing suicide if sent to the USA
