Re: Sarah Palin's Yahoo Account Hacked

And you KNOW that she used it to hide official business, right? Has there been ANY such allegation? No there hasn't. If such an allegation comes forward, then fine, investigate. But no one has the right to go trolling through someone else's private e-mail for no reason. If the cops came into your house with no warrant, and no suspicion of any wrong-doing, they'd be violating your rights. This is exactly the same thing. This argument that it's wrong to use private e-mail in that way is an obfuscation, and nothing more. No wrongdoing has been alleged, and as such, no one has the right to go through her e-mail like this.

I find the lack of outrage at the act, and the displacement of the argument back at Palin for allegedly doing something wrong when no one has made any such accusation, just horrible. What these perps did is illegal. It's a violation of Alaska state law (punishable by up to 2 years) AND a violation of federal law (up to 5 years). These clowns should be found, prosecuted, and put in jail. Palin's ideology should have NO bearing on this AT ALL. You disagree with her? Fine. But that doesn't in any way make what happened here ok by any stretch of the imagination. The outrage should be the same no matter if it happened to Obama or to Palin.

Actually there HAS been allegations and controversy over usage of the accounts to hide certain things from the Freedom of Information Act.

According to laws she and her party support such a suspicion is enough for a no knock warrant and countless invasions of privacy. Perhaps this invasion of her privacy will wake her up to those ridiculous laws.

There is a pending lawsuit on behalf of several Republican state legislators in Alaska seeking access to the Yahoo accounts and alleging that just such a thing happened. Palin's lawyers have been fighting the subpeona for months.

Incidentally, no part of this incident took place in Alaska; and possibly no part crossed state lines (making it difficult to bring Federal charges based on the way the particular laws arre written).
