So, there are plans to turn Gary's story into a movie, yeah? That is, according to an article I just read. Interesting. ...That is, as long as Mr. McKinnon's okay with that. I saw a reenactment of his story on a show called "Unsealed: Conspiracy Files.". Though I was not surprised, I was saddened to see the "villainous" spin they seemed to put on it... as though Mr. McKinnon was on this ruthless quest to gain information in order to harm others. If a film is made, I would hope that the story is told portraying Mr. McKinnon's intelligence and compassion, rather than making him out to be a someone with sinister intentions.
Glad he is allowed to use computers again...something the conditions of his bail would not allow him to do. Glad he has now started a small business. Apparently, though, Mr. McKinnon has been (or had been) advised against visiting his ill father in Scotland, because the laws and conditions of extradition are different there then they are in England and Whales. It was said that the US government might possibly try again to extradite him if they learned he was in another country. It is my sincere hope that Mr. McKinnon could see his father. He fought to stay in the UK for ten years...and won! I don't believe this freedom should be revoked because Mr. McKinnon simply visits another location.
