One of the classified diplomatic cables leaked on WikiLeaks has reignited the controversy surrounding a British computer hacker and the desire by the U.S. to have him extradited for prosecution.

Gary McKinnon, a Scottish systems administrator, hacked into nearly 100 U.S. military and NASA computers. He was allegedly trying to find secret UFO files until he was nabbed by U.S. officials eight years ago.

AOLNews.com reported McKinnon contends that he was looking for secret files about UFOs, extraterrestrials, anti-gravity technology and evidence of free-energy sources that could presumably be used by everybody on Earth.
