    When are they going to arrest George W Bush for war crimes and deliver him to the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Oh wait, Dubya passed a law that the US military can bomb it if a Murican is ever brought before it.

      Maybe they could get Obama instead, for his illegal drone assassinations? Or would that be racist ?

    Doesn't he deserve a prize for hacking world's no. 1 terrorist's account?

      Perhaps, but he also deserves 4 years in prison for releasing unredacted data from the hack.

      So: Bush Junior's "artwork" is fine, but random cell phone numbers of people who have never held office but happen to be related to a Bush is another matter.

    Guccifer also revealed that Hillary Clinton used a private email address while she was secretary of state.

    Shouldn't he be getting a commendation for that?

      Yes, but while this administration doesn't give a rat's about what happens to the Bushes, hacking a key Clinton contact like Sydney Blumenthal that blows open the whole tissue of lies spun by the Clinton's, I'd say 50 months is a short and lucky sentence. That's why he was extradited.

      There's a significant chance he'll commit suicide I would imagine...found dead somewhere anyway.
