adrian lamo?

www.freelamo.com
i was just curious as to what people think of adrian lamo being charged, and whether anyone thinks he'll be convicted or not. from what i saw when he was interviewed on the screensavers, he knows what he did was wrong, and knew there would be consequences, but hacked sites anyways. he didn't cause any damage, and there's a lot of large corporations that recognized the security holes he found and owe him for fixing him. it would be nice to see some of these corporations take the stand on lamo's side and fight this. i think it's pretty pathetic of the new york times to press charges. while he was in the wrong and, did do something illegal, he could have done so much damage to them, but instead informed them of their security holes.
