Gimme a break.

Its not illegal to access the US Department of Defense Website, nor is it illegal to access the NASA, in fact its encouraged.

http://www.defense.gov/
http://www.nasa.gov/

Its the areas he ended up in, they didnt like, then again if they didnt want people in there, they should have had it firewalled, password protected etc.

They have now so maybe they should in fact be thanking him, after all he did leave messages saying the security was pants. He even explained how he got where he did so as to help them secure the information he could have accessed.
