A Briton facing extradition to America for perpetrating "the biggest computer hack of all time" left a message criticising American foreign policy on an army computer, a court in the UK heard yesterday.

Gary McKinnon, 39, is accused of accessing 97 US government computers, causing damage estimated at $700,000. McKinnon is accused of 20 counts relating to the American army, navy and air force, Nasa and the Department of Defence.
