Where Is The Glory? Where Is The Honor? And Where Are The Big Bucks?
The case against Jeanson James Ancheta (and probably others, in time) is more than unnerving when one considers the fact that military computer systems were used in the hacking. Not only could military computers be compromised by the hordes of people doing this sort of thing, but the computers could also be tied up with senseless tasks that would make them powerless when we might need them for national security. It's sad to me that these young people care no more for their own country than this. It almost strikes me as a very juvenile form of treason.
The article I read also mentioned that Mr. Ancheta has a public defender as an attorney. I'm more than a wee bit confused by that. If this sort of crime is supposed to be so profitable I do wonder why the accused can't afford to hire his own lawyer.
