Dear Vortex, I unsubscribed in the past because I simply disagreed with many of the opinions and science that goes on here, to me there is no point in arguing anymore.
I would like to use some of the 'cache' I have in Vortex to ask British citizens to lobby their MPs/home secretary/Euro MPs in their own words (and with their own postcodes/emails to avoid being SPAM-handled) on the matter of Gary McKinnon. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7831481.stm http://freegary.org.uk/ This is the story of a British man being crushed by the USA for 'hacking' into their unprotected computers and allegedly finding stuff about 'UFOs'. He did no criminal damage, made no real risk to national security. All he has done is commit the misdemeanour of trespass and this is not a felony warranting 70 years in a US maximum security jail. It is cruel and unusual punishment forbidden by the American constitution anyway. One should fear that US law can usurp British and European independence. Remi. This is my letter, please use your own words. To: Home Secretary Rt Hon. Jacqui Smith MP c/o Direct Communications Unit Home Office 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF On reading the BBC news item about Gary McKinnon and taking the suggestion of his support campaign I write to you as follows: Gary McKinnon has committed no felony. He has caused no criminal damage. He has not threatened national security. He has merely trespassed and it is a misdemeanour. His sentence bears no relation to this misdemeanour. We see child abusers, murderers, rapists get off with trivial sentences of a few years or other legal technicalities. Under the USA constitution his punishment is cruel and unusual and thus is unconstitutional. 70 years in a maximum security prison bears no relation to the offence. This disproportionate crushing of Gary must show that they have a conspiracy to hide. I also object to the usurping of British justice by the USA. The misdemeanour was committed on British soil so he is subject to British Laws. Gary was and still is a man of exemplary character. Please support: Early Day Motion 2388 sponsored by David Burrowes MP I support Gary. Remi Cornwall.
