The man who hacked Sarah Palin, 20-year-old David Kernell has not returned repeated phone calls or e-mails from the AP since last week. His lawyer says the family is going through a difficult period. The FBI searched the residence of the David Kenell, who turns out to be the son of a Democratic state lawmaker in Tennessee over the weekend looking for evidence linking the young man to the hacking of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's personal e-mail account. The family has nothing to do with Palin's hacking but David Kernell is nowhere to be found. The FBI and Secret Service are now investigating.

Hackers and authors of computer viruses should be summarily executed. I have no tolerance for them.

a repeat of nixon/watergate, only this time it's the democrats breaking in. this young man has his whole life in front of him (enough time in jail to write the book about how he did it, and why). oh, nearly forgot the freedom that 'privilege' brings. when his parents bring him forward, some lawyer, er, professional liar will get him off with a slap on the wrist instead of long jail time.

What he did isn't really illegal. According to our government E-mails can be picked up and stored, they are public domain. The government does it all the time without warrant
Her using so called private e-mail accounts to go around freedom of information laws is illegal. She was using the illegal Bush idea. Her doing this lends to the idea she and her people were doing things they wanted to hide. This citizen caught them and made public their crime. BUT he will be prosecuted and she will get to play victim just because they are who they are.

Actually a law was passed this year which makes "anonymous" on-line harassment in any form illegal and a federal crime. I think this does qualify.

I do feel sorry for the guy though because since he comes from a Democrat and political family, maybe he doesn't know any better.

America is about to fall into the end of world as we have known it. What are the important issues today that American's should be taking about? Is the present 700 billion dollar bail out important? Is a hacker's story more important to National interest today? Why was this question posted?

He will be caught. He may be smart, but there are computer hackers out there that are even smarter and care about our personal rights in this country..obviously the Obama lovers have no qualms about stealing these rights for their own agenda.

He will be caught. He's so disappointed that he didn't get anything on her. Newsflash!!!! Not everyone is a crook. He so wanted to be an Obama hero. Give the guy a break, how do you expect him to know right from wrong when his father is a Democrat.
