Gary McKinnon and the Obama Administration

This man was made famous for his "hacking" skills, even though a lot of the systems he accessed were not properly protected the password was in fact "password".

It is also interesting to know his access to unfiltered and filtered photographic materials from NASA was kept mainly quite in mainstream media.

In view of the number of whistle blowers which have been and will no doubt try to be prosecuted by the Obama Administration, I have a gut feeling this Administration will try to put McKinnon into the category of a "whistle blower" if they can and include the hacking charge as well. Will he be found guilty if he was to got to court, of course it has already been decided.

"The Obama administration's record

Since Mr Obama took office in 2009, charges have been laid against seven current or former federal government employees or contractors:

1.Edward Snowden, 2013
2.John Kiriakou, 2012
3.Jeffrey Sterling, 2010
4.Bradley Manning, 2010
5.Thomas Drake, 2010
6.Stephen Kim, 2010
7.Shamai Leibowitz, 2009

In each case, the charges were brought under the Espionage Act of 1917.

They included the former National Security Agency contractor now living in Russia, Edward Snowden, a state department contractor accused of leaking classified information about North Korea to Fox News, Stephen Kim, and a CIA officer who was charged in 2010 with leaking information about Iran's nuclear program to the New York Times, Jeffrey Sterling."
