Why? Why would Anonymous release evidence against Rove?

242. It might be different if certain parties were more inclined to prosecute criminals

and less inclined to prosecute whistleblowers

I never said you belonged to the Third Way. It's just that your argument just sounds exactly like the dumbass Third Way argument about how Julian Assange should turn himself in, when they could care less about any alleged sexual assault, but they definitely hate him because of his whistleblowing, and the truth is they want him busted big time for pissing all over their beloved status quo, despite the fact that the status quo was clearly caught with its hands in the cookie jar in so many instances.

So...why do you suppose the justice system didn't do a damn thing about this little criminal oopsie posted below appropriately? :

Is the GOP stealing Ohio?
Uncertified, "experimental" software patches have been installed on machines in 39 counties of the key swing state

Questions still need to be answered here, dontcha think?

Anyway, the hack has been claimed by Anonymous. The public exposition of a crime, and the admission of a crime in response to that crime, has been made.

Gee, maybe someone should be investigating?


Or maybe they're not allowed to investigate; whoops, damage control time!

Hey, I know! Give Ohio SOS Husted a call with your concerns, maybe he'll call for an investigation! Well, maybe not. Probably not. OK, not.

Your apparent blind faith in the forces of American justice is...adorable. However, anyone who does not share this blind faith would never risk coming forward and admitting to a criminal act, even (or especially, in this case) if this act were done to thwart a much more serious criminal act. In circumstances such as this, in today's political climate, whistleblowers have a much greater chance of being prosecuted (see "other&quot than status quo criminals do.

Facing Grand Jury Intimidation: Fear, Silence and Solidarity

The Seattle grand jury subpoenas were served in late July, when the FBI and a Joint Terrorist Task Force conducted a series of raids on activist homes and squats in Portland, Olympia and Seattle with warrants seeking out computers, phones, black clothing and "anarchist literature." The FBI has stated only that the grand jury pertains to "violent crime," but it is believed to relate to property damage in Seattle during this year's May Day protests. The relatively small scale of the property destruction - a handful of spraypainted cars, slashed tires and smashed windows at a downtown Starbucks, Niketown, Wells Fargo and American Apparel store - in comparison to the cost of the police and FBI investigations points to the likelihood that the raids and grand juries have been widely dubbed a witch hunt, understood by commentators and activists alike as an attempt to intimidate, deter and undermine anarchists in the Northwest and beyond.

Go figure.
