McKinnon has committed a crime, but he is British and perpetrated the crime on British soil. He should be tried here, sohe can receive due process under law and not be subject to arbitrary extrajudicial detention in a foreign country. Jacques Francis, Westcott

Gary is fantasy-prone.His fears of the US are as unrealistic as the alien artefacts he thinks our government is hiding. In five years he will be wiser, more mature and back in Britain. Kevin Gregg, Arizona, USA

If I visit my girlfriend in New York,steal her cash and high-tail it back here, I commit a crime in the US, so I get extradited. But if I hack her account and transfer funds, I commit the crime here and don’t get extradited. Let us sort our baddies, Uncle Sam; you fix your firewalls. Thomas, London
