Motive is Everything?

We all take risks from time to time, but it's worth it to us when we have a good reason. Take Gary McKinnon, who stands accused of causing the US government $1 billion of damage by breaking into its most secure computers at the Pentagon and Nasa. He is likely to be extradited to America to face eight counts of computer crime in 14 states and could be jailed for 70 years. Friends said that he broke into the networks from his home computer to try to prove his theory that the US was covering up the existence of UFOs. I quoted most of this paragraph from the story at the 'This is London' website. I hope he found the evidence he was looking for. It's sooo hard to find a Lack Of Evidence...
