This CNN article claims that members of Anonymous are calling HBGary employees and leaving threat messages. I call bullshit. What kind of hacker with any kind of intelligence would use a telephone to threaten someone? This is just a ploy to turn America against Anonymous and against Wikileaks.
Why are citizens so angry with Wikileaks? I really want one of these people to answer this question with a good, sound, thoughtful response. I doubt they will be able to give one; they're just doing what they're told.
Why is the media so opposed to Wikileaks? Because they didn't give them the info first so they could make a buck telling the citizens what they have the right to know?
The above article mentions that Assange's former right-hand man, Daniel Domsheit-Berg, wrote a book calling him a megalomaniac and making it into a negative that Assange wanted to pursue big, important leaks over small ones. Domsheit-Berg is setting up a website called openleaks.org, through which he will not be publicly posting leaks, but will instead give them over to journalists and human rights groups to examine and feed us the info they want us to know. Sounds like he just wants to be in on it for the money to me. I'm sure he will charge journalist and activists a hefty sum for any information he might have. Wikileaks gives everything for free.
And people, use your common sense: why wouldn't Anonymous hack into a military website? Because that's not their purpose. Nazario, who claims Anonymous "undoubtedly" has the technology to do whatever it wants is, in all reality, probably pretty clueless as to what Anonymous has at all.
I do like the end of the article though. Anonymous IS for freedom of information and freedom of speech. We all should be.
