Re: Poor Gary Mckinnon
Believe me Martian...I know what you are saying, I used to feel the same way.
But the ufo community forfeits whatever "moral authority" it has when it attempts to take the law, even a flawed one, into it's own hands.
Whatever benefit comes of this, is tarnished, and will be disregarded by the public at large.
Believe it or not, the ufo community suffers from a lack of credibility.
Taking the "law" into ones own hands hurts the credibility of all of us.
I agree that there is a time and a place to disobey.
But at least have the courage to stand up for what you believe is right..(Gary)
Admittedly, he knew what he did was wrong, but did not think through the possible consequences.
If you want to make the case that he is entitled to look for the hidden knowledge, then I can make a case that he should have only hacked UK military targets.
All those who stood up against slavery and died, are diminished by your comparison to Gary.
They gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Gary has given nothing except cowardice, and my opinion is that he is probably lying, about seeing any Secret info, given the misinformation in the other parts of his defense.
I maintain that the biggest secret in the history of the world was not, is not hooked up to the internet.
He can be your hero.
He is not mine
