As I understand it a Dutch person was arrested a few weeks ago, for possession of marijuana in the U.S. and sent to Gitmo.

That’s what has become of America: don’t do drugs.

If you do: go to Gitmo.

Unfortunately, because it chimes with popular anti-Americanism people are astonishingly gullible to suggestions that anyone extradited to the US could end up there.

The charges include one incident - shortly after the terrorist attacks on September 11 2001 - that brought down a network of 300 computers at the Earle naval weapons station in New Jersey. Another raid allegedly knocked out 2,000 computers in Washington.

His fear, and that of his lawyers, is that he will be send to Guantanamo Bay. He also “faces a sentence of 70 years if found guilty.”

This seems mute as they put.

The extradition proceedings have taken so long because the UK sought assurances that Mr McKinnon would not face a military tribunal and would not serve his sentence at Guantánamo Bay

Which at any event, I don’t see why they’d seek for a military trial anyway. Unless it was tactics to get the guy to plead guilty rather than going through the lengthy trial. At either rate, 70 seems a bit excessive.
