Kevin Free

Posted by michael on from the mitnick-schmitnick dept.

An anonymous reader writes: "Surely many of you will remember that before there was ever a cry to 'Free Dimitry Sklyarov', Free Kevin Mitnick was the call of many. He was convicted on 'hacking' charges, though many on the Internet found the charges and trial to be unfair. He was freed in January 2000, but not allowed to touch a computer or log onto the Internet until January 20, 2003. See the story at CNN or read some background info at freekevin.com. "

  1. WHY IS BUSH BASHING INSIGHTFUL? by JeanBaptiste · · Score: 1, Flamebait
    Fine if you have a good point that you wish to explain, but this is crap:
    At least he wasn't busted under Bush's watch, else he would have been labeled an enemy combatent and been held indefinitely with no access to council let alone having charges bought or opportunity to fight them in a court of law.


    The only time this has happened is to the prisoners at gitmo. Guess what? Due process for American law only applies to American citizens. Give me one example where this has happened to an american citizen under Bush?

    And this baseless canned liberal response gets modded +5??? 'Hmm, something something, Bush==Hitler'. And this is insightful?

    All the liberals on /. think the world is going to end because of Bush and Ashcroft. I think the world is going to end because of the liberals.

    Like it or not, millions of people want YOU dead. Whose side are you on?

      Of course, it's not at all possible that he got the Insightful mods for the other half of his comment?
