If it were me, I would do everything within my power (legally) to make an example of these attackers. Even if it were my best friend, to make it known that DoS'ing websites or anything else will not be tolerated. Any legal action taken should be a wake up call to these kiddies. Not to mention Having the NSA or the FBI knockin on their doors would scare the living hell out of them...Course thats just my opinion and my bastardly way of thinking
