The fact that the reporter is even asking that question shows you to how low a level this society has sunk.

So this has turned into another witch hunt like the Zimmermann case.

Hackers also have the names and Social Security numbers of all Washington comPost “journalists” and editors. But should they share them?

A 14 year old hacker who has the opportunity to release information that might destroy the lives of some men in law enforcement and their families, and by doing so perhaps even take their lives. This is almost beyond belief.

I probably have a different take on this than most, mainly from my own life experiences dealing with “Law Enforcement” at many different levels. No way in HELL should a “Public Servant” ever be treated any different than an average citizen, there should be NO SECRETS in a FREE SOCIETY. As far as I am concerned they deserve NOTHING. I do not believe in “Special Rights” for ANYONE. Especially the Gestapo Agents we now have acting as Police.

30-40 years ago when they were “Peace Officers” I might have had a different attitude, but then again they would have been arrested and prosecuted for their crimes back then, nowadays they are for the most part “Foreign Agents” for the Government, especially since the Supreme Court declared that Police “ HAVE NO LEGAL DUTY TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS, ONLY THE POLITICAL ENTITY THAT EMPLOYS THEM.

If they DO NOT LIVE IN the community or City that Employs them, where they actually have a relationship with their FELLOW CITIZENS then they are nothing more than Hired Guns, Mercenaries,thugs...They deserve NOTHING.

The difference between a shakedown/protection racket and a government is the snappy uniforms.

Looks like these guys read "Enemies Foreign and Domestic". Except in the book it was ATF agents who got their personal info compromised.

If they did nothing wrong and have nothing to hide then they've got nothing to worry about. (At least that's what they always tell the peasants)

Whoever publicizes this should be held accountable if any violence comes from it.

The correct answer at this point and in this situation is not yet. We don’t have the whole story. But, I certainly could envision a situation in the near future when the agents of a corrupt government are held accountable for their crimes when the state refuses to act.
What should we do if we got Lois Lerner’s info or the other hacks that lied to congress never to face justice?

From the article: “But they could be lying.”

The police have gone to great lengths to establish that they are free to lie to suspects. Since we are all probably suspected of doing something illegal, I'm sure this includes all of us.

Perhaps someone can educate me as to whether there are any limits to such lying.

Can the cops tell you "no" if you ask whether you have a right to a lawyer? Can they lie by telling you that no bail has been set when in fact it has? Can they tell you that they will charge your mother with a crime if you don't confess?

I, for one, follow the advice, "Don't talk to the police."
