I am on the fence on this one. Personally I don't think he should be charged as he was somewhat discriminating. That being said, people more support him because he published stuff that made the US look bad.

But to put this different. If all our personal health records were stolen, would people be fine if Fox or CNN were given a copy and they published it? Likely not.

Lastly he really is a guy that is hard to like. But that shouldn't factor.
