No sympathy for Prenda but damn if this line didn't remind me of Aaron Swartz:

- ghshephard 14y agoI wonder if there was ever a movie in which the Cavalry came calling to the rescue, but went after the wrong target? I seem to recall a Twilight Zone episode (or maybe it was a Stephen King Short Story) in which an infantry platoon razed a village, only to discover that it was actually their own hometown, somehow masqueraded as some foreign land. I willing to wager that if we looked at it with objective perspective, 95% of the time the Federal Grand Juries are doing work for good, it's only 5% of the time that they are misguided - but it's that 5% that we all seem to remember.
