I hope the people who hacked her account go to jail and I think the people who run that site should also face charges. This has nothing to do with who's account was hacked and I say the same if it was Obama, Biden or anyone who had their account hacked into.
I agree regarding the hackers. For wikileak, though, they've already beat a court rap once, since they only host the files. I haven't formed an opinion on how they should be treated.

I see you hold McCain to higher standars then you do Obama.
Everyone holds the other candidate to a higher standard than their own.

I look at it as receiving and holding stolen property.

I think the question becomes, "Who owns the property?" I wouldn't say it's Palin in this case, but probably Yahoo. Either way, it's probably theft. Problem is, they most likely won't catch the guys who did it.

I see you're being vague. Care to elaborate?

Well this could get pretty ugly before its all over as the AP is involved and refuses to hand over info to the FBI & secret Service. Here's a link.

They need to get a court order for the AP to hand them over. Sounds fair. What's really troubling though is the allegation that she conducted state business using a semi-private email account.

Oh, Biden says "Be Patriotic and Pay More Taxes". This is just what I have thought of them all along. They are going to use the economy as a reason to keep lowering the income range to tax more people. I can hear it now from Obama if elected. I know I said I would only raise taxes on a small % of wealthy people in the US but things are even worse than we thought. We are going to have and lower the income level to ? so we can help the people of this great nation. So up goes my taxes agian (I pay more than my share) and I'm guessing he would go to around $75,000 income.

The hand wringing and panic around all this is absurd. It's a rough time but if history is any teacher it will smooth out over the long run.
I find it laughable that apparently the same people that complain that Bush is a fascist want the government to step in and bail out every failing company that comes along. The government has its nose in too many things to begin with and a huge portion of the population just wants to give it more power - terrifying if you ask me.
Who is supposed to pay for this stuff? You whine about taxes being too high and then demand that the government fund every last social program and bail every struggling company out of its self-made quagmire. The money has to come from somewhere, unless you just want to print more and continue to devalue it.
Let the damn market work itself out, it always has and probably always will. In the meantime, quit watching every three point fluctuation and go read a history book.

It's time to be patriotic? Help your fellow citizens? Help alleviate the financial troubles of your nation? Don't be the uninformed, unprincipled and useless Donald Trump (http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/09/18/lkl.donald.trump/)? I would have went with "it's time to pay your share instead of gaming the system." As for you assertions that he's going to hike tax on those making 75K I say you have no basis whatsoever to come to such conclusion. Your gut feeling shouldn't supersede facts.
