The US should have been sensible and just handed the evidence over to the UK courts and said "Look, it's overwhelming, criminal computer use etc etc get the courts moving". He should be tried in front of a jury of his peers, which amazingly aren't Americans and for a proportional crime which would be unauthorised access to a machine, not criminal computer damage which is ridiculous on the face of it. It's not like he was trashing disks. Oh, for the people who say he must be a genius or you'd offer him a job, he's admitted repeatedly he's got basic skills and mostly got into where he did through the repeated incompetence of some of the US' biggest security establishments. And he genuinely was after UFO stuff, there's an interview with him on one of the UFO conspiracy websites where he talks about trying to find it.
