One was indirectly responsible for the deaths of 3,000+ people on 9/11 and other terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qaeda.
The hackers used websites too much, so it stopped working, but they the websites of big corporations, in response to those corporations stifling an effort to bring openness in our government.

I think we see this government's priorities.

2. It's just so plain and obvious.
And mind you, these are a bunch of kids. This really is modern day civil disobedience. They have to do this, because the police might shoot them or taze them or beat them. But I will note, they have actually held protests in the past.

3. Hackers should have been working form a safe house...
near Pakistan's West Point, or pretending to hide somewhere.

4. That's because hackers are stupid kids who live in the US.
Osama was a smart man who lived far from here.

Also, hackers are constantly online. Osama was almost never online.

There's an explanation for everything.

5. Don't forget, we were only looking for OBL for the last couple of years.
Bushie Boy certainly wasn't looking for him. He hardly ever even thought about OBL, as I recall him saying.
