These people use the dirtiest tactics in the book and out of the book, including hacking, assassination, abduction and for them it is somehow legal - even though their hackers are malicious and steal secret info that really does has to do with other country's national security. They are going to take down Gary as hard as they possibly can and that is the reason they want him in the US. Sometimes you need to fight fire with fire. I completely sympethise with the guy - he did what was right in his heart.

And something you said made me laugh - 90% of citizens believe they're within the law - what are you, a politician? Did you just pluck the figure from the air?

If they were going to take down Gary as hard as they could, he would be dead, and you never would have heard of him.

Yes I pulled that number of the top of my head, but I am right, aren't I?

Gary has not had a trial yet, so no evidence has been presented.

I sympathize with those that say the extradition law is unjust.

My problem is not so much with Gary, but his supporters who see nothing wrong with his actions.

It devalues the serious research done by the real heroes of ufology.

By your reasoning, what Islamic terrorists do is justified, because they believe they are right.

UFO vigilantes bring no credibility to fields that struggles to maintain any in the public eye.

Gary is has made himself sick over this....he was offered 18 mos served in US, 18 mos served in Britain....as part of plea agreement.

He declined

He got terrible legal advice.

Now whose fault is that?

Add it up folks, the tale Gary spins does not add up.

King Lear, you are most kind.
