When Feds are the Crackers
Mark Rasch, 2002-08-26

U.S. courts should join Russia in saying "nyet" to the FBI's lawless international hack attacks.

Most people here seems to focus more on the act the Russians did than what the FBI did. Both are crimes, under each-other laws.
Now, I may be strething things a bit, but let's say this was an issue with the Chineese government and 2 US reporters. In China there're some things you're not allowed to print. Let's say the two US reporters had a website aimed specifically at Chinese audience.
If the same 2 reporters were in China on holiday, and accessed their website from a public webcafe, would you think it okay if the Chineese government tapped the username/password from that cafe, entered the webserver (located in USA) and provided evidence of the crime commited, under Chinese law?

I would guess you would be outraged, eh?
Now, tell me why.
