These kinds of people need to be in prison, not the people exposing what they're doing.

Wiki leaks is embarrassing itself. Stratfor is a silly bunch of blowhards who repackage the Economist for gullible subscribers who think these jokers are some secret intelligence agents.

Imparting that kind of wisdom is what inspires new users of HN to sign up.

Any chance they could get you for downloading copyrighted emails without a license?

IANAL, but copyright violations almost always have to do with distribution rather than downloads. They get P2P users on the technicality that to download, you also end up uploading.

Interesting.

I wonder if disabling uploading is any defense.

Holy damn. Here is one interview of her (Reva Bhalla): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc1gJOPCipY And at the end she is linking the attack to Al Qaeda. I think this is why they are giving her kudos, for planting the seed. This is nefarious on so many levels. This means India directly comes under pressure to respond back to Pakistan, and then respond to allegations that Al Qaeda is expanding in India. It is ironic th…

"Why does education/intelligence/morality not cull the inner devil of some?"

IMO education and intelligence may sometimes fuel the "inner devil". "Greed has poisoned men's souls." I really think it is power and or authority that may be the culprit in these kinds of situations. Some people are completely disconnected from our fellow humans.

It's just business. Conflict is extremely profitable. Unfortunately, 164 people is a drop in a bucket in an ocean.

That's not true! People who died in these five star hotels and their conference rooms were top notch entrepreneurs, executives AND ordinary people of India [1]. So 164 people who died is not just a drop in the ocean as you would like to believe here. [1] http://www.indianexpress.com/news/yes-bank-chairman-ashok-ka...

Death of innocents is a tragedy whether they were an entrepreneur, an executive, or a janitor.

Actually, Stratfor tends to have a unique perspective on the news. I've been signed up for their free email thread for a while, and while I've never been blown away, they do have a better-than-most longform approach to news. It definitely beats CNN.

Will be glad to supply weapons to both sides if India and Pakistan want a cage match. India gets the net and trident and the pakistanis get the shield and short sword. Kamran can instruct in Klingon

What do you mean by "these kinds of people"? Greedy people? People who say things that are tasteless and mean? I'm pretty sure there's no law against any of that. Please enlighten me re: the law they've broken, otherwise I hope you can see the inherent irony in your statement...

edit: I'm not being ornery, I'm really actually curious what people think they should go to prison for. Tastelessness != criminality.
