Wasn't sure whether to believe the Anonymous/Rove story,until the reaction telling us to shut up @it

166. Anonymous is not just script kiddies living in their parents' basements

Sure, there are some of those -- and we often find out about them because they're the most likely to slip up and get arrested. But Anonymous also has older and wiser members who are technically highly competent and know exactly what they're doing.

I remain unsure as to whether this alleged hack really happened or whether it's a poker move -- but either way, there's something important going on, and it's worth discussing.

For example, I could easily believe that the references to Orca were put into the letter after the fact, when it was known how badly the system had failed, and were designed for the pure purpose of making Republicans paranoid. That's the sort of mind-fuck games Anonymous loves to play. And that in itself could be an interesting development.

Ever since the McCarthy era, liberals have been afraid of their own shadows -- scared of making any move for fear it could come back and bite them in the ass -- while conservatives have been fearless. I'd really like to see the shoe on the other foot, and Anonymous may be the ones who can do it.
