US President Barack Obama has given fresh hope to an autistic man who is battling extradition to America on computer hacking charges.

Mr Obama pledged to find an ‘appropriate solution’ after David Cameron raised the issue of Asperger’s sufferer Gary McKinnon during his first visit to the White House as Prime Minister.

Mr McKinnon – supported by his mum Janis Sharp, from Brookmans Park, has fought an eight year legal battle to prevent his extradition to the US – where he faces up to 60 years in jail if convicted of computer hacking.

He admits hacking into US military computers in 2001 and 2002 but maintains he was looking for evidence of alien life.

Gary actually SAVED the United States untold billion by revealing how easy it is to hack into the military databases. If he can do it then why not foreign powers? The man should be given a medal for forcing the US to install safety protocols which may have prevented catastrophe! Check out http:unconfirmedsources.com?itemid=4158

What I'm trying to figure out, is how anyone - anywhere - "outside the White House" - from their own personal home, which in Mr. McKinnon's case, just so happens to be the "United Kingdom" - unless Mr. McKinnon happened to have secret passwords, or how ever he was able to gain access to United States computer systems - the bottom line is he did everything from his own home. I suggest hiring him, because it's painfully obvious to anyone who cared to look past the end of their own nose, that Mr. McKinnon, has a whole lot more on the ball, than what ever "EINSTEIN" is in charge of U.S. computer systems!
