Sorry dude but the EULA cleary states that it's a legal agreement. If you agree to something you don't understand, you are the one at fault. There is no one pointing a gun at your head forcing you to click on that box.

If he knew that he was not authorized to do what he was doing then game over. If he actually hacked security measures (as opposed to just finding something unsecured) into sensitive military information then he should be executed. I would expect (and I would demand) no less from the UK or any other country if the roles were reversed.
