McKinnon, a British citizen, committed an alleged crime in Britain. If extradited to the US under this humiliating extradition treaty, he faces a wholly disproportionate punishment. He can and should be tried in Britain.
The McKinnon case yet again shows the New Labour government’s fidelity to the US trumps justice and compassion for British citizens.

Gary McKinnon is threatened with extradition to the US
McKinnon is a British citizen who committed a relatively minor crime in the UK. There is no case for his extraordinary rendition to the US where he faces wholly disproportionate punishment.
The New Labour government wishes to destroy the life of one of their own citizens in order to avoid mildly irritating the US. Who remembers Verdun Quisling?
