Supporting the Daily Mail's stance on Gary McKinnon but worry about there motives

I've been a supporter of Gary McKinnon and his fight against extradition to the US from the start as I am a supporter of all those who face unjust extradition under the European Arrest Warrent. It is simply wrong that people, especially one as vulnerable as Gary, can be extradited for crimes committed in the UK, with the evidence not being checked here to see if it merits extradition, or even for actions which aren't crimes here. 

All this is wrong and an abuse of the rights and freedoms we should expect. 

It's a nightmare that needs fixing. 

The Daily Mail has an editorial today supporting Gary and demanding our polticians get their finger out and scrap the unjust extradition process. 

All well and good but is it wrong of me to think that self interest plays its part in these fine words? Now a campaign is a good way for paper's to gain publicity and readers, but how much of it is to stop DM types being extradited to the UK if it discovered they hacking people in the US? I mean to say who can now doubt they could have acted illegally in the US for a story if they wanted?

Anyway regardless of the reasons I totally support Gary and hope this unjust poltical mess is fixed so that we British enjoy the rights and protections our forefathers fought for.
