This is the country we
live in: not a single Wall Street executive has been indicted for
crashing the world economy and gaming the financial system out of
multi-billions in order to rip off an entire generation of
hard-working Americans. Yet the United States Department of Justice,
through the agency of its Boston US Attorney, saw fit — as a matter
of routine practice — to legally pursue a young, idealistic
Internet activist and internationally known computer scientist, Aaron
Swartz, with a heavy-handed perseverance that can only be called sick
and perverted.
