A US man was jailed for four months last week after he was convicted of hacking into US government computers and defacing web sites. Robert Lyttle, 21, of Pleasant Hill, near San Francisco, was also ordered to pay damages of approximately $72,000 and to serve three year probation after his release from federal prison. The first four months of this probation period will be under home confinement with electronic monitoring, US District Judge D. Lowell Jensen ordered.

I wouldn't exactly call it "jail for nothing". You also have to factor in lost reputation due to the defacement, time taken to restore the site, etc.

By the way, the FBI is still looking for Osama. I guess they just consider these "hackers" low-hanging fruit.
