Date set for McKinnon extradition judicial review

Gary McKinnon, the man accused of hacking Nasa and Pentagon computers, will have his oral judicial review hearing on 20 Jan, according to the Free Gary McKinnon website.

The judicial review will decide whether to overturn Jacqui Smith's decision that McKinnon be extradited to the US to face the hacking charges. McKinnon was recently diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, a condition on the autistic spectrum.
