Mala in se?

It seems to me that this guy did no real harm, and didn't even materially profit from his crimes. What he did isn't right, but the sentence is hugely disproportionate. I'm also sorry to see so many governments around the world yielding to US pressure - time our politicians stood up to them! Of course, we in the UK are just as bad at extraditing our civilians. I much prefer the Russians on this one for having a principled stance: no citizen may be extradited, period.
