Palin Email Hacker Found

mortonda writes to tell us that the person responsible for breaching Sarah Palin's private email account has been found. 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 father is a Democratic state representative in Tennessee"

    Is this the behavior we should expect from this party?

    ...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.

    And saying that there is doesn't make it any more so.

    The original freaking hacker said there is nothing of consequence there. NOTHING.

    I guess you think he's on McCain's payroll or some other twisted leftists fantasy.

    And Wikileaks. What bullshit. Half the crap is made up and the other half irrelevant. I seriously hope someone at Wikileaks is fined or spends time in jail. Along with the DEMOCRAT sob who broke into the account in the first place.

    Gotta love Slashdot. Bitch and moan about privacy all day long until it happens to someone you don't like, then it's excuse after excuse.

    Obsessed much? My guess is you could write a book on how Mother Teresa was the antichrist. This is such a typical left-leaning Slashdot rant reaction.

    Trying to save the world from the horrors of yet another Republican administration is at least a noble act.
