British prosecutors said on Thursday they would not bring charges against a computer expert accused by a U.S. attorney of the "biggest military hack of all time", dealing a blow to his bid to avoid extradition. His lawyers argue his health would suffer and he would be at real risk of suicide if he was handed over to U.S. authorities. Gary McKinnon was arrested by British police in 2002 after U.S. prosecutors charged him with illegally accessing computers, including the Pentagon, U.S. Army, Navy and NASA systems, and causing $700,000 worth of damage.Mr. McKinnon should have considered that before having a ball accessing a site he knew was illegal to do. The Pentagon doesn't play.
