All too familiar, isn't it?

The US would be better hiring these people the way companies do, but nobody wants to make that decision. Much better to make the lawyers even richer and get next to fcuk all benefit compared to the diplomatic headache. Maybe they want leverage with the UK?

Very. Someone threatens self harm to avaoid justice. Seems to be happening more and more often. Surely there should be facilities and procedures in place in the US to ensure their safety.

Gary McKinnon managed it, so there’s precedent now.

So the UK and US governments illegally pry into our private lives with impunity, but a hacker attempting to turn the tables on them is unjust?

It should be the other way round. They shouldn't be prying on us. Two wrongs don't make a right.
