Doesn't anybody else think it is a little outrageous that an Internet hacker is being threatened with 70 years in prison for breaking into some computer systems? I'm talking about the US Justice Dept.'s case against Gary McKinnon, an out of work systems administrator who exploited over 100 of the US Military's networks using holes that had had patches for "years". Does the punishment fit the crime? Five years seems extreme to me, 70 years seems outrageous. Isn't that we give to murderers?
Shouldn't everyone be asking "why the hell did the military have such vulnerable systems on the Internet?"
We have to get these clowns out of congress (and the white house)
Who is leading this clown troop? The longer they're in office, the more like Nazi Germany America is becoming. Apparently, the powers of the FBI (or should we start calling them the SS now? since they have secret powers and secret warrants ) will be getting expanded
AGAIN.
While our civil liberties are being slaughtered in the name of national security, the "Ameri-Nazi SS" (the FBI) hasn't appeared to catch any more terrorist - despite their expanded powers. While the Bush administration would like us to believe that they are winning the "war" on terrorism and that there are fewer terrorist in America today than ever before, I find this a hard pill to swallow. The fact of the matter is the government is simply fleecing our American rights. How long will it be before the "Ameri-Nazi SS" start making random stops of citizens on street corners demanding to see our papers??
America, wake up, you're living in a police state now!! You better start fighting it before it is too late.
