COMPUTER hacker Gary McKinnon should be given a job rather than extradited to the United States, as his skills could be "put to good use".

Mr Vaz again urged Home Secretary Alan Johnson...

I know that the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has to think of all the patients and the costs of all drugs for the NHS. However, surely if there is a drug available that helps liver cancer patients live longer then that has to be a price worth paying.
