I will say that my applauding this kinda of crime is based on if I like the person or not. I could argue about using a unsecured web based email like Yahoo for a government correspondence, but it really is just a cover; I just don't like Palin.
Was it a crime? Yes. Was it wrong? Yes. Should he go to jail? Yes. Would I be pissed if it happened to me/friend/family/famous media figure I actually give a damn about? Yes.
So yes, I only like that her email got hacked because I don't like her. I don't like that he is being prosecuted under the Patriot Act, because it was a
personal account (as not being part of government intraweb/vpn/.gov account), but yeah... broke the law, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
