I was up for this Livia at first, but actually thinking about it after reading your post, I have changed my mind.

You are right, you are absolutely right. The Law is the Law. It should be rigid and equitable and either apply to all, or be changed by due process.

As you say; it is wrong to approve breaking the law because of a 'the end justifies the means' mentality, and this 'Hacking' action is fraught with very real dangers - both to our individual liberties and our national security.

I was so eager to learn which political figures were on the list that I did not think it through.
