I agree with both darkside and Korpdeath.
It is amazing to me the things people do and claim "It was for the country"
Using this excuse makes them no better than the terrorists themselves.
Americans hacking for "America" is just like Al-Qaeda Killing people for "Allah."
The Muslim religion is all about acceptance and non-violence. America is supposed to be the land of opportunity and acceptance. Both these groups (patriotic American hackers and Al-Qaeda terrorists) go directly against what they claim their motives are.

I tried to stay neutral in my initial post to see what others thought, but I feel that the FBI absolutely did the right thing by bringing up these charges.
