I'm glad about the decision.

Mr McKinnon, who had been fighting extradition since 2002, suffers from Asperger's syndrome.

Mr McKinnon, 46, admits accessing US government computers but says he was looking for evidence of UFOs.

He must have been using a Mac.
Or had an extraordinarily intelligent group of FB friends  ::)

Sorry. I'm a bit dubious about this story.
