FBI bust DDoS 'Mafia'

I hate to really comment on this as well....but this is old news...the
SecurityFocus report was released a few days ago and anyone who has
actually gotten info from the Southern District of Ohio on the
evidence could easily show that this is more than just a "innocent man
made to look guilty" sort of case, Paul Ashley (ArGG) was the owner of
FooNET / CIT Hosting and he ran all of this right in front of many of
our faces on IRC and I know I personally as well as many others have
been hit by not directly from him but his counter-parts...Joshua
Schichtel (EMP, CIT-Joshua) and Lee Walker (sorCe) I never did get to
find out who Jonathan Hall (Rain) was and I suppose that is a good
thing as the two above caused enough damage...Joshua Schichtel
probably the most...and the ways they are doing this also highly
effects our responsabilities to keep our customers machines clean,
firewalled and virtually not there in the face of the internet...I
wish the great firewall of china actually started filtering this DoS
as it does many other things...lets just start with spam.

As far as civil liberties go...this was a treasonist act where when
you commit treason (If your a citizen such as a couple who are down
there were) you loose all rights, I don't care if your now forced to
live in solitary confinement for 100 years while you wait for your
trial. And those who arn't citizens carried out terrorist attacks and
are now PoW's (Hmmm was Al Quida ever at the Geneva Convention..don't
think so, so they get no rights either) the PoW's are actually treated
better than they would ever be in the home countries.

Lets just go ahead and change the pre-amble right now to read "Life,
liberty and the persuit of all who threaten it" because I am not
backing down to give civil rights and liberties to terrorists...hell
where were our rights when they decided to attack us?
