to be a threat to their interests, they hire one of those Security Contractors or Think Tanks who prepare the smear campaigns that are then spread around by the puppets they hire to do so.

People like Elizabeth Warren and Glenn Greenwald, who as a relatively obscure blogger at the time, found himself to have been a target of one of those Security Contractors for such a smear campaign, after Anonymous hacked into the emails of HB Gary. Even a blogger, like Greenwald was at the time, was not too small a threat to them for such a smear campaign, which we've seen, even here on DU.

I have no doubt that Security Contractors like HB Gary and Think Tanks are still bidding on those 'contracts' and that Elizabeth Warren is a prime target for them.

In the case of Glenn Greenwald eg, the bid by Security Contractor HB Gary to smear him, was being proposed to Bank of America about whom he had had been writing at the time.

It would be good to expose who is getting paid to smear Warren. I'm sure it could be done. Sounds like another job for Anonymous.
