I won't deny that the day the Department of Homeland Security was created the terrorists won. Our way of life has been slowly eroded by over zealous government employees. The right way to deal with this is through the same laws that created the situation. And some watchdogs in the Senate, House and White House would help too. That's how problems are addressed in America,
Stealing government secrets and parading them before the entire world is insanely reckless and really deserves no excuses or respect. Hackers have been glamorized recently but they are no different that someone who breaks into houses or banks and steals.
