Leave it to the current U.S. Administration to make me feel bad for a dumbass scr1pt k1dd13. Although Jeffrey Lee Parson merely tweaked an existing virus (in a very, very dumb way), US Attorney John McKay actually has the gall to describe Parson as a "key figure" in the MS Blaster computer worm incident. MS Blaster infected over a million computers. Parson's variant infected about 7,000.

Is he a dumbass? Yes. Should he be punished? Yes (My sentence? A ban from Internet usage, some community service, and perhaps a low five-figure fine). Will the government make an example of him, forget about finding the real creator, and wash their hands of it (aided by the Bush-puppet media who will simply keep parroting that he created the virus)? Yes. I guess, what can you expect from the "Saudi-born terrorists attack, we must bomb Iraq" crowd.
