Good! He figured he was morally justified anyway and this "damage" was exposing an existing security flaw that needed fixing.

Hope he can move on now and forget this but he has to stay in the UK or face being arrested.

I'm very happy about this. He would have been treated like Bradley Manning if they got their hands on him.

The more embarrassed the US is, the more vindictive they seem to get.

he found a programmers back door on a series fast internetted intra~net linked gov't computer servers and was in bliss.

its like begining with NASA or the Air Force or the FBI and asking for Rosell files and then seven servers later being inside

Langley as the NSA tries to do a trace. you see in the CLINTON era all gov't dep't did not have to informally speak to each

other but under the "shrub" after 911 a rather orwellian central database was created so Homeland Security could wolf down

donuts and not loose fat cells when scrambling around when going from tippity top secret file cabinet after cabinet in many

locales. there are more thorough hackers, he i think found a security clearance zone and netsurfed it inside the T2 connection

grid whicjh perhaps begs several firewall questions. to prove the case in a civilian court highlights thah gov't egg on face galore.
