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?

It's because their legal system is foreign and therefore wrong.

Also, because the US legal system is often simply brutal and wrong. Not extraditing prisoners to the US seems like a very reasonable and humane thing for civilized nations to do.
