The UK&#x27;s extradition policies are a joke. There&#x27;s no reason Britons who hack into US target from the UK can&#x27;t be tried here in the UK under the Computer Misuse Act. The only logical reason for extraditing someone for hacking would be if they went to the US to commit the crime, then returned to the UK before they could be apprehended.<p>The whole McKinnon debacle is an embarrassment on a number of different levels.
