So let me get this straight, he hacked into a US military computer, the US wants to bring him to trial, and he doesn't think he should be brought to trial? If he's innocent, then there should be no problem. Even if he did no damage, what he did was illegal.

It's more the case that he should be tried in his country, it's another example of America trying to police the world.

New Gilmour material!?

No it's an example of someone committing a crime and hiding behind a border. But nothing will come of it.

Wait - new Gilmour material? Politics be damned!!
