Who are you to call anyone a coward from your cosey home, behind your computer - how do you know what anguish he or she has gone through?
Disgusting.

Ok, you've lost my respect by making accusations about me. Missing positive brain functionality? Really? I hate kids? Parent's like me?
You're not being objective in this conversation but yet you expect me to see your world view? You can't just loosely spew the word of being positive and then attack me. It makes you look like a wanna be positive guru but with no understanding of the word. This is exactly what I'm talking about...
You have all the right intentions but are going about it ass backwards. You don't see it because you're too young. Come back and talk about this when you grow up.

You can try to debate me sir, but you will lose on the merits alone.
Look crime is crime. No matter if you like the crime the crime that was being crime thats being commited. No matter how you try and justify what these guys did was right, they still broke the LAW! There is no in-between, there is no back room way of getting around it. These guys were and did break the law period. When we start trying to put people who break laws on a pedastal where do we draw the line?
You can try to say whatever you want, justify it however you want. It still does not change the fact that they broke the law. If found guilty.
Up until this article arrived at ATS, I was having a very tiresome and annoying day.
Wow!
Who would have thought Anonlescence (Anonymous) was a group of young adults and teens.
The AntiSec online hacking movement said Monday it had broken into a server run by a U.S. military contractor and pilfered 90,000 military email addresses and passwords, the latest in a string of attacks on corporate and government targets.
AntiSec, which comprises elements of the Anonymous and Lulz Security collectives, said it got into a network run by Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. via an unprotected server. It then extracted information from the McLean, Va.-based contractor.
"We infiltrated a server on their network that basically had no security measures in place," AntiSec said in a statement posted online. "We were able to run our own application ... and began plundering some booty."

My argument speaks loud yellowbeard. Once agin you can try to justify this crime by comparing it to other crimes, or any other thing that you think holds water. Fact, it doesn't matter about some old law, new law, or any other thing. It matters about the here and now in which we live. Breaking into goverment, and military computers is A CRIME! I don't care about what use to be a crime, or did not use to be a crime. This is crime, and it will be prosecuted as so!

Actually, I do think this event will take the entire operation down.
After the FBI analyses the various confiscated computers, they will have a full understanding on how the group functions. As each of these individuals are questioned, they will all ask for a plea deal in exchange for names, code names, server addresses, etc... Upon drawing out a profile for each hacker, they will strategically infiltrate the group's membership.
Time is up.
