UPDATE from Salon:

New info emerges on anti-WikiLeaks plot
Tech firm suspends employee involved in plan to attack WikiLeaks and Salon's Glenn Greenwald


When this story broke last week, Palantir was quick to deny any involvement in the anti-WikiLeaks plan and to sever ties with one of the partner firms, HBGary, that had masterminded the plan. One of several provocative items in the plan said that Greenwald's public support for WikiLeaks needed "to be disrupted."

Here's where a new wrinkle in the story comes into play. Anonymous has now published a new batch of thousands emails hacked from executives at HBGary. And the emails appear to contradict Palantir's claim that it had nothing to do with developing the anti-WikiLeaks plan.

(snippet)

let's look at an email exchange between HBGary executive Aaron Barr and Matthew Steckman, an engineer at Palantir (who has now been put on leave). On the morning of Dec. 3, Barr wrote Steckman:

From: Aaron Barr

Sent: Friday, December 03, 2010 8:32 AM

To: Matthew Steckman

Cc: Eli Bingham; BERICO-Sam.Kremin

Subject: Re: first cut

One other thing. I think we need to highlight people like Glenn Greenwald. Glenn was critical in the Amazon to OVH transition and helped wikileaks provide access to information during the transition. It is this level of support we need to attack. These are established proffessionals that have a liberal bent, but ultimately most of them if pushed will choose professional preservation over cause, such is the mentality of most business professionals. Without the support of people like Glenn wikileaks would fold.

2. Aaron Barr: "I follow one law. Mine."
These people are the ones who belong in jail. Because those running the country have gone rogue in creating their own laws to cover their crimes againsr taxpayers, we need WikiLeaks & Anonymous since we've been backed into a corner. We no longer have checks & balances to protect our interests.

4. And so what Aaron, Greg, and Penny said in the IRC chat just became more damning.
Looks like they out-and-out LIED TO ANONYMOUS when they were chatting with them on IRC.

Anonymous will not take kindly to this. You do not track shit all over Anonymous' clean kitchen floor without being made to lick it clean again.

Jesus- these companies know nothing at all about this group, do they?
