Mother of 'hacker' to stand in Blackburn (From Lancashire Telegraph)

• "Re-Gary McKinnon. The disruption was cyber notes he left warning them that their security was virtually non existent in the hope that someone from the highest level would read them and do something about U.S security or lack of.
  He pointed outthat the U.S airforce was responsible for U.S security
  "yet the U.S airforce did nothing to monitor the planes flying off course on 9/11 even though one of those planes flying off course was heading towards the Pentagon"
  Shouldn't someone have asked the U.S airforce why this was? Did the Bush government order them to stand down?
  
  Gary McKinnon was a whistleblower who despite leaving cyber notes trying to alert the aurhorities, it was a U.S university that had to alert the military to Gary's presence.
  
  Several U.S universities told the U.S government that Gary McKinnon had not caused any damage to their systems and the prosecutors were forced to issue a superceding indictment removing the allegations of damage against the universities from the indictment.
  
  The Crown Prosecution Service disclosure at a recent court hearing showed that the Crown Prosecution Service described the so called U.S evidence as No evidence and hearsay.
  
  A professor of computing gave a statement to the court saying that the alleged financial damage was not for any actual damage other than for the basic firewalls and security that NASA and the military should have had installed that would have flagged up any intruders.
  
  A colonel from the U.S military stated: Gary McKinnon's intrusion was not decisive to U.S security....
  
  He was a whistleblower and no one would listen to his concerns that the U.S; the worlds superpower's computer security was virtually non existent.... "for years on end" .
  
  Would you rather a real terrorist had hacked in than Gary the UFO guy with Aspergers Syndrome who was merely whislerblower.
  
  Without the damage (which he has denied) it was not an extraditable offence.
  This extradition treaty with America that was signed in secret was supposedly to be used for terrorists.
  Looks as though our politicians lied to us again."
