I can even accept that... The blame here falls more on Wired than the actions of the FBI.. It's kind of like making media icons out of people like Kevin Mitnick, Kevin Poulsen (Figures that Wired would put a bright twist on the Thomas story... considering they were willing to hire Poulsen), Phiber Optik, etc... Criminals should not be media icons... Hey,

Yes, prosecution is the best approach to criminals, but law enforcement has been using people like David for years to reach higher level members of organized crime. Had snitches been locked away they never would have taken down ShadowCrew. p.s. Thanks for the link, it's what bloggers do.
