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?

a convicted hacker

He has not yet been convicted, because he has not yet been tried.

Good point. I was mistaking his bail conditions for something else.

He has not been convicted, but has publically admitted he did carry out the crimes.
