McKinnon: White House felt ‘bounced’

All pretty smooth-running on the US trip with one exception.

I hear the White House is feeling a bit “bounced” by the suggestion that Gary McKinnon, accused of hacking into the Pentagon computers, might be allowed to serve his sentence in a British jail.

David Cameron was notably more restrained in commenting on the case when he did interviews early this morning but in his BBC Radio 5 Live interview recorded last night he raised the prospect of Gary McKinnon serving “some of his sentence” in a British prison.
