One thing is for sure, that message allegedly from Anonymous about Ohio and Rove [View all]

will give anyone thinking about tinkering with the elections on computers real pause in the future. Just the thought that there are people out there with those kind of stunning computer skills that are watching the net should make anyone wonder if screwing around and breaking the law for political power is worth years in prison.

On the other hand, I would think the FBI and CIA would have even more capabilities to catch that kind of thing. At least if they are on the side of the people.

Whoever Anonymous is if it was them, they have some serious cash and power behind them if they were able to out do the FBI and CIA.
