Submission + - Ex-CIA director: Snowden should be 'hanged' for Paris (thehill.com)
SonicSpike writes: A former CIA director says leaker Edward Snowden should be convicted of treason and given the death penalty in the wake of the terrorist attack on Paris.
“It’s still a capital crime, and I would give him the death sentence, and I would prefer to see him hanged by the neck until he’s dead, rather than merely electrocuted,” James Woolsey told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin on Thursday.
Woolsey said Snowden, who divulged classified in 2013, is partly responsible for the terrorist attack in France last week that left at least 120 dead and hundreds injured.
“I think the blood of a lot of these French young people is on his hands,” he said.

I'm curious about what their reasoning is behind the throttling.
Does providing the service become less profitable after a certain threshold of usage is reached? (Meaning there is a real cost-per-bit AT&T pays)
Does this throttling preserve the fairness of access for all users because the network could not handle more capacity?
Is it a matter of not wanting this particular service to compete with other AT&T offerings?
Would it defeat a charade of some artificial cost being exploited?

And on top of that, if you made oil (or any other energy in general) cost half as much, most consumers and industries would instantly respond by wasting twice as much.
