Gary McKinnon

Can anyone explain to me, in nice simple English, why we shouldn't be extraditing a convicted hacker to the country where he commited the crime?  It really does seem like an open and shut case to me, and I'm baffled why some people seem to think it's wrong.

I'm clearly missing something - can someone explain it to me?

Because there's concern that they will punish him disproportionately to his offence, for political reasons. I feel gutted about this, the poor man.
