Re:Thank you Gary (Score 1)

I don't know why so many of you seem to think that he's a scapegoat. Most of what he claims makes no sense whatsoever, so why should you assume that he's telling the truth about any of it? And anyway, who's stupid enough to want to break into systems at all of the Army bases in and around Washington, D.C., immediately after 9/11? He also broke into Air Force, Navy and DOD systems. Hrmn...a foreign national looking into defense systems...nope, no possible threat to national security there! The truth is, unless and until this matter comes to trial, you only have his word of what happened. I don't happen to find him particularly credible. Who knows what his real actions and intentions were? I live in Virginia, and can tell you that he won't be in the Virginia state prison system - he's up on federal charges, so even though they were filed in the Virginia Eastern District federal court, he could be held at any federal penitentiary. As with the state prison system, the federal system also has separate low, medium and high security prisons to hold prisoners of differing risk levels. They even have halfway houses for people needing job training and substance abuse help before being reintegrated into society. I suggest that you all stop and think rationally and not always assume that the US is always doing everything without reason just to be a bully. How would your government feel if I waltzed into MI-6 and sorted through everything, and then just skipped away, saying "but I didn't hurt anything"? Would that be credible? Of course not! The difference is, the British government would not reveal that the offense had happened, while in the U.S. we retain enough openness for now that it made the news.
