As cyberthreats mount, hacker's conviction underscores criticism of
government overreach

http://j.mp/ZwyBa2  (Washington Post)

    "The target of the raid was neither terrorist nor bank robber. He was a
     24-year-old computer hacker suspected of handing off stolen e-mail
     addresses to the media.  With that, the Justice Department began a
     case that has come to symbolize what some lawyers and civil
     libertarians see as overreach in the government's campaign against
     cybercrime."
