Why Don't They Simply Give Him a Job? - 2008/09/02 10:47

This story has the potential to become a very big miscarriage of justice.
I do not understand why our government is willing to send this guy to the US, where he is likely to face imprisonment for the rest of his life...
US official have gone on record stating that they want to 'fry' him...
When the case first came to light, his lawyers were told that if he voluntarily went to the US and was convicted, he should expect a sentence of no more than a couple of years. He refused, and now they want to fry him...?
I heard that there is also a chance that the poor chap may end up in Guantanamo as an 'enemy combatant'. WTF?
This is a bloke who managed to breach some of the most *ahem* secure networks on the planet. After each hack, he left messages to highlight the lack of security in the system.
Why don't they just give him a job. Sounds like they could use his advice.
