McKinnon loses Lords appeal

According to the BBC, "NASA hacker" Gary McKinnon has lost his appeal in the House of Lords against extradition to the United States, where he could very well get a life sentence for his hackery.

This is all a very strange - and possibly quite unfair - affair, but the Lords obviously think it's been above board.

Anyway, our man Colin Barker is over at the Lords now, so expect a full story on today's events soon...

UPDATE: Here's that story.
