----------------------------------------------------------


 
Activist Jeremy Hammond is facing sentencing today after pleading guilty
to a role in hacking the private intelligence firm Stratfor. Emails from
Stratfor's servers published by Wiki Leaks showed the firm engaged in
widespread spying on activists on behalf of corporations. Hammond faces
up to 10 years in prison. He has already spent 18 months behind bars,
some of it in solitary confinement.
