Torchwood calling

Clearly, here's a man who's missed his calling. A Briton hacker has lost his extradition appeal in the European Court of Human Rights. Gary McKinnon is accused by the U.S. government of hacking into 97 military and NASA computers. McKinnon claims he was seeking information on UFOS. Of course, while the hacks probably do constitute a criminal act, the real scandal is that he defeated whatever countermeasures were in place and accessed the NASA, Army, Navy and Air Force computers in the first place. As the computer attacks occurred after Sept. 11, 2001, he could be tried as a terrorist in the U.S., and that can only end in tears and a trip to GITMO. Maybe he should have applied for admission as agent of U.N.I.T. or the Torchwood Institute first.
