Just as you say...

Is Ms Boxer also going to go after that couple who illegally recorded Newt Gingrich's cell phone conversations?

Those people WERE lauded as heroes by the libs and the MSM.

What a worthless bunch of people!

On the SCUMSUCKERS Scale

Barbara Boxer = 10
Alan Grayson = 10

LOL!!!!! Do we have to be limited to 10?

Steve, it was a law broken in Britain, not here. None of our business. Plus I put this on the scale of prosecuting the two ACORN whistleblowers.

I think that what they did is great and useful,; but, isn't also illegal? I mean, politics to the side, are we or are we not a Nation of laws? If we are, we can't exclude an action committed for any reason, good or bad, if it is illegal.

Loonitic dumb farking koont.

The latest word on the sites run by global warming skeptics is that the data was placed on a server open to the public. There's speculation that it was being gathered in case a Freedom of Information claim couldn't be rejected. Regardless, no hacking is required to access data on a public server nor is it against the law to download that data.

As a sideline, does Boxer know that U.S. law has no jurisdiction over the CRU, which is in Britain?

Have Californians no shame or is this the best that you have?

Unfortunately this is the result of the government having too much power and control of it's people. We are expected to believe their Global Warming BS, allow them to steal our money in the form of taxation, alter our lifestyles and give more power to the government and all because the government can invent some bogus crisis backed by phony science.

The only way to fight this tyrannical government will be to hack into computers and publish the evidence, spy, arm yourself etc. The government has earned it's reputation of being untrustworthy, corrupt, immoral and unrestrained. These guys fought back in the only way they could. The government lies and must be stopped.

These e-mails were made by folks paid using tax-payer money, SHOULD have been made public in the first place. The government has no business hiding info from it's citizens and citizens should have access to all this data and correspondence. Boxer needs to try herself for conspiracy against the US citizens.

In fact, I expected the liberals to be howling for the blood of these hackers for making their attempts to hoodwink the world (via man-made global warming) that much more difficult. And I expected it immediately.
However, it seems obvious that the reasons they did not were to let this thing die a quiet death.
"If we do not make a big fuss," thought the collective liberal hivemind, "this fraud incident will blow over (with a little help from Tiger) and we can go back to convincing the world SUVs are the true evil."
But it did not pass and now the left are trying to shift blame from a worldwide hoax to those hackers who exposed another crack in the foundation of said hoax.

Does anybody else think these hackers would be lauded as folk heroes had they uncovered some conspiracy hatched by the GOP, or was in anyway aberrant from the liberal agenda?

Nothing would make this Cal resident happier then to see B Boxer lose her "earned" title in the next election.

I think BOTH need to be investigated. It is great that they got the info and we know about it. but they broke the law. now, lets investigate the scientists.. the data, AND the hackers.... sorry, no one is above the law.

The hackers should go to jail. They illegally hacked someones inetellectual property.

Wasn't she the one who also demanded to a general not to address her as ma'am?
We can only hope that Carly Fiorina wins her seat in November.
How much more idiocy can we take?

This global warming stuff is stupid. If it wasn't for global warming we would still be in the ice age. Maybe the campfires of the cavemen doomed the ice age. Anyhow anyone with any sense knows global warming is caused by all the hot air coming out of Washington DC.

She's nuts, but she has a job for life in Commifornia.

See all the 15 year olds that hacked into the government and whether or not that was a crime or not. They exposed a fraud which is good but that doesnt mean they should be treated in any other way than criminals.
