We discussed the breach last Wednesday, shortly before the hacker, a University of Tennessee-Knoxville student, posted a message detailing his methods. Wired has a story examining the potential legal consequences for the hacker.

    ...the brownshirts abuse "terrorism" laws against this individual.

    The real criminal here is Palin. How can Bush cronies repeatedly get away with violating public records and accountability measures? It's disgusting.

    Except: Palin was using her personal account for government work, which is illegal. And she's telling her staff to ignore subpoenas about whether she campaigned with state resources. Those are impeachable offenses for the president, and illegal if not felonies for governor.

    Do we want another impeachable VP? Weren't Spiro Agnew, Bush the elder, and Cheney enough?

    the only difference between adolf hitler and w.bush is that the latter havent chosen to practice his powers in full yet. even nazis, at the start of their reign, didnt have the power to LEGALLY snatch a citizen and make them disappear. they did those via illegal means, through thugs. your president has that power LEGALLY.

    just check the executive powers given to his office by republican congress in the 6 years they had the majority, and you'll get appalled.
