"Anonymous" Hacks Palin's Private Email 1733
netbuzz writes "'Anonymous,' best known for its jousts with Scientology, has apparently hacked Sarah Palin's private Yahoo email account. Contents, including sample emails, an index, and family photos, have been posted by Wikileaks, which calls them evidence that the GOP vice presidential candidate has improperly used private email to shield government business from public scrutiny." Note that there is no easy way to tell if the material on Wikileaks is genuine or a hoax. Update by J : Genuine.

Attacking Scientology is one thing. We all know that it is a crock of crap. However, when somebody hacks a VP candidate, the FBI and Secret Service will react strongly.
No, attacking Scientology is not "one thing". Millions of people planet wide use and benefit from Scientology principles and ideas. These same cowards attacking Scn have now "in the public good" opened Ms Palins' mail. Sounds a bit like the "when they came for the Jews, I did nothing.......". This is America and this is NOT acceptable.

If they really were trying to prove corruption they'd have surely hacked the other candidates as well. Especially McCain and Biden who have been in Congress long enough to have a thousand times what either Palin or Obama would have.
It is possible that the other three politicians are in fact not hiding anything.
:p
It is also possible that the other three simply selected better passwords and we'll hear about their emails in a couple weeks

Becuase of his felony sex crime [ca.gov] conviction. Same reason he has to inform his neighbors each time he moves.
So take his words with a massive grain of salt. This was a man who pled 'not guilty' despite the DNA evidence against him. I guess ten years in prison haven't quite him the futility of lying.
