Well, I'm not so sure you're right. He was affered a good job at a
computer unit in the army, and he refused. He said he wanted to be
a fighter. He just wanted the publicity. 

BTW: I'm not sure that they should have proposed him a job, since:
a. I'm doing my first degree before the army and I wasn't offered any
"job" with computers, and I can assure you that I know more about
programming, algorithms, data structures and complexity more then he does.
If they don't take real programmers, they should not take crackers. (No
harm feelings...)

b. Lets say he know how to crack, should we give him such an easy access
to the army's computers and networks?
