Palin Email Hacker Found

Hacker Caught

WA... FBI...agents swooped down on the party pad of a 20-year-old University of Tennessee economics student - and son of a Democratic lawmaker - who allegedly hacked into the personal e-mail account of Republican veep nominee Sarah Palin.  One source told a Knoxville television station agents served a warrant early Sunday at the apartment of David Kernell just five blocks from campus while several students were having a party there.  Agents took names, and then hustled everyone outside while they took pictures, according to WBIR-TV.  The youth's prominent family has recoiled from the publicity.  "The Kernell family wants to do the right thing, and they want what is best for their son," said lawyer Wade V. Davies of Knoxville.  "We are confident that the truth will emerge as we go through the process. David is a decent and intelligent young man, and I look forward to assisting him during this difficult period."  Kernell is the son of state Rep. Mike Kernell, a Memphis Democrat and chairman of Tennessee's House Government Operations Committee who last week sternly refused to discuss the possibility his son might be involved.  "I had nothing to do with it, I had no knowledge or anything," he insisted.  The e-mail break-in came to light last week, revealing someone had gotten into the Yahoo e-mail accounts Palin uses and found a few personal messages she got after John McCain selected her as his running mate.  The McCain campaign confirmed the break-in and called it a "shocking invasion of the governor's privacy and a violation of law."  Palin used "gov.sarah" in one of the Yahoo e-mail addresses she sometimes uses to conduct state business. The hacker targeted her separate "gov.palin" account.  But during the break-in, the hacker used an Internet address that traced right back to the younger Kernell's apartment complex.  I guess the question here is...  Is David capable of this on his own?  Was David set up?  Is David the scapegoat used by higher powers or even his family??  Perhaps more Obama Driven Drama???
