Gary McKinnon of London is accused of deleting data and illegally accessing information on 97 U.S. military and NASA computers. British authorities declined to prosecute McKinnon, and the United States sought to extradite him. He challenged the extradition order in Bow Street Magistrates Court in May 2006. His attorney contended McKinnon could be held as an enemy combatant and subjected to inhumane treatment. McKinnon freely admits to hacking, but contends he never damaged the targeted computers and merely did research on UFOs.”]
