from the on-extraditing-Love dept.

BBC reports:

An autistic man suspected of hacking into US government computer systems is to be extradited from Britain to face trial, a court has ruled. Lauri Love, 31, who has Asperger's Syndrome, is accused of hacking into the FBI, the US central bank and the country's missile defence agency. Mr Love, from Stradishall, Suffolk, has previously said he feared he would die in a US prison if he was extradited.

Also at Ars Technica , The Guardian , and Reuters . Here is the judgment against Love (PDF).

    You've been moderated "disagree". I, for one, agree with you. At least in part.

    I can think of reasons why he should NOT be extradited, but ass burger has nothing to do with it. It's amazing to me how many people who decide to go head-to-head with Uncle Sam take the drama route, finding some reason why the public should sympathize with them. Just like the US, the UK seems to have raised a couple generations of special snowflakes.

    Depressed? Well, yeah, I guess. If I were a cannibal who had killed, roasted, and eaten a few hundred small children, I would be depressed too. Especially on the morning when they came to take me from death row to the little room where they jab needles into you and pump chemicals into your body.

    Hello, Drama Queens everywhere. No one gives a flying fuck about your petty personal problems!!
