ET Researcher Gary McKinnon lost his appeal in The House Of Lords in United Kingdom

Well damn! This is just retarded. Gary lost his appeal in the house of lords. He will be extradited!

Lords to hear ‘hacker’ appeal

Gary McKinnon, the man accused of hacking into Pentagon and Nasa computers from a flat in north London, heard yesterday that he had won the right to have his case against extradition to the US heard by the House of Lords.

The agreement by the law lords to listen to arguments that the US authorities acted in an “oppressive” and “arbitrary” manner is the first step in what Mr McKinnon and his legal team hope will be an end to extradition proceedings which began in 2004. He has always argued that, because the alleged offences took place in the UK, that is where he should stand trial. No date has been set for the House of Lords hearing and he remains on bail.

“Gary McKinnon is delighted to learn of this important development,” said his barrister, Ben Cooper of Charter chambers, last night.
