Spam King to Sing For Feds?

Vainglorious Coward writes "Infoworld is repeating the rumours that Alan 'spam king' Ralsky has been arrested by the Feds. With the file sealed for 72 hours, the article claims the underworld is abuzz with concern that, faced with enough evidence to put him in jail, Ralsky will squeal on his associates. We should know in the next couple of days whether any of the roaches scurrying for cover are going to get stomped."

    The same people who run for cover every time a minor violation of privacy by our US government is uncovered, are now calling for a man who committed nothing more than a minor, victimless crime -- misuse of an electronic forum by the public -- they are calling for this man to be tortured.

    Now, you left wing liberals, take a look at yourself, you protest torture of prisoners in Abu Gurab -- these are terrorists who kill Americans -- but you want a real USA businessmen, who started a company and turned a profit -- to be killed and in one Slashdot's reader's words, AK47 gunned down, for a minor book-keeping offense?

    You libbies make me sick.
