OK .... I will concede the "entrapment" arguement!
However is it illegal to merely look where you are not ment to be, even if the door was open (or blank security paswords used?
I am, however certain it is illegal to put a false claim for damages! As per the interview the amounts for damage all appear to be the minimum to be classified as criminal damage (I may be using the wrong legal term here)

I think it looks more like blame displacement by government officials than active criminal damage/ terorism!
Personaly I would be happier if the (US)government were to acnowlege the real damage done to computers worldwide originating frome one small area of America and take apropriate action!
