There is no justification for it, and as I said there should be no forgiveness in turn.

Perhaps the death penalty would be a bit harsh in these cases.

I would settle for life without parole. These assholes ARE terrorists as far as I am concerned.
NBN, your wish may well come true. A bill currently under consideration -- the Anti Terrorism Act, a.k.a the Mobilization Against Terrorism Act -- would make violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act "federal terrorism offenses", and provide for life in prison for offenders (there is no Federal parole). It's also retroactive, so you can get your NIMDA guy.

Welcome to the Brave New World; deface a website, go to jail... forever.


No, I'm not kidding. Check out http://www.eff.org for details.
