    He doesnt go into much detail about what he finds, I very surrprised that while his goal was to find Anti grav stuff he didnt keep ANY records of what he found...it all seems like he was on a large honeynet to me.

    I read that article the other day alright, seems a bit fishy to me. I guess we will see in the coming days and weeks what happens.

    do we really believe that he will end up in a military court and end up in guantamo bay ... or that they will send him off for alien research ... there most definately something fishy going on here .... if the us cannot disclose the real crime he has commited then it seems a waste of time to extradite him

    on a slightly related topic

    On the BBC yesterday they said the UK citizens who worked for a UK firm in the UK who are being faced with extradation to the US over the Enron affair can expect to serve 2 years in a Texas Jail BEFORE their trial. Also they pointed out that despite 20 years of extradation treaties between the US and the UK no IRA suspect has been extradited from the US to the UK.

    So just by delaying the trial they could get to keep him for years.

    He served five years in prison (four years of it pre-trial), 8 months of that in solitary confinement, and was released on January 21, 2000. He was on supervised release until January 21 in 2003.
