Gary McKinnon wins 10 year fight against extradition

A British computer hacker has won his 10-year fight against extradition to the U.S. with the U.K. government saying he was unfit to face the charges against him.

In a statement to the House of Commons on Tuesday, Britain’s Home Secretary Theresa May said that the extradition of Gary McKinnon, a 46-year-old computer administrator from London, “would give rise to such a high risk of him ending his life that extradition would be incompatible with Mr. McKinnon’s human rights.”

“There is no doubt that Mr. McKinnon is accused of serious crimes, but there is also no doubt he is seriously ill,” she said.

McKinnon claims to have discovered NASA files containing evidence of UFOs of extraterrestrial origin. Numerous Disclosure Project whistle-blowers formerly with Top Secret security clearance have revealed that NASA has hidden, destroyed, or altered videos or photos that contained images of UFOs or extraterrestrial life forms.
