Been reading today that it wasn't McKinnon's Aspergers that was the reason for the extradition being halted but his depression and threat of suicide.
At last it has been recognised as to face it the government does not recognise aspergers, but depressive illness they do and I still maintain I have no doubt whatsoever that the accused would go through with his threat given the chance and that because I woud do so myself as I understand how he feels, the notion of extradition is one of betrayal as to understand he was willing to stand trial in Britain, his country being judged by his own people , not a bunch of haphazard foreigners that have a questionable attitude towards the rest of the world.
