UK hacker Gary McKinnon could face up to 70 years in prison after losing his latest High Court bid to avoid extradition to the United States. What is your reaction?
US authorities want to try the 43-year-old, from London, for breaking into US military and Nasa computers in 2001 and 2002 and say his actions caused damage costing $800,000 (£500,000).
Mr McKinnon admits hacking, but denies it was malicious and asked the court to decide whether he could not be prosecuted in the UK, and whether his Asperger's Syndrome meant he could not be extradited.
Do you agree with the ruling? Or should Mr McKinnon’s Asperger’s Syndrome prevent his extradition? Where should he be tried? Is the extradition treaty between the US and UK fair?
