Radio 4 had a play about this this afternoon. The US prosecutor apparently said the "hope he fries" remark in the interview where he was offered a plea bargain.

What the hell are we doing sending someone to be tried in a country with the death penalty? Can we rescind this? I know Burke thought all Parliaments bound their successors, but I though Paine's argument against that had won.

According to the play, he thinks the reason he was picked on from all the hackers he saw in there (passwords set to default, computers on all night)is because he got into the place where the US keeps all the antigravity and energy secrets they got from reverse engineering UFOs, and he wanted to publish them so the oil wars wouldn't happen. I don't know how true that is.
