Aaron Swartz committed suicide after being hounded by the DoJ for a victimless crime.
There are plenty of memorial diaries, but I'd like to focus on a fact-based look at the DoJ and its priorities. We need to take a good hard look at the facts:
Fact: The department of Justice is run by Holder and Obama
Fact: The DoJ is the most powerful govt agency after the Pentagon
Fact: The DoJ is the most "executive" of branches and therefore given the most latitude to express the direction of the executive branch without too much interference from Congress.
