Aaron Swartz, Precocious Programmer and Internet Activist, Dies at 26
<p><pre><code>  Carmen M. Ortiz, a United States attorney, pressed on, 
  saying that “stealing is stealing, whether you use a 
  computer command or a crowbar, and whether you take 
  documents, data or dollars.”

...or whether you steal using your prosecutorial power to take the life of a fellow human. Ortiz should be ashamed. She stole from all of us and humanity by driving a brilliant young man who has contributed more to society than she ever will to take his own life. Think about all that he would have contributed over his lifetime. He had decades left and that is all gone. She is the biggest thief in this story.
