So not only does Aspergers make hacking acceptable if your searching for information that your obsessive about such as UFO’s - it makes you have a ten year old mentality.  I’m getting very sick of Aspergers being used as an excuse for peoples screw-ups.  My life with Aspergers isnt exactly a cakewalk as it is - and then when things like this start swaying the oppinion of people it sure the heck aint gonna make it any easier.

Gary McKinnon is a hacker from Britain who is set to be extradited the United States.  McKinnon Allegedly hacked into the Pentagon’s computer system disabling and/or interrupting several national security systems while looking for info on UFO’s.  McKinnon’s defense is that the reason he hacked the United States Military was “as a direct result of following the obsessional interest which drives him.”  It upsets me this individual is using Aspergers as an excuse for his illegal actions.
