If you like top secret deception and intrigue, Google: HBGary Anonymous for a frightening story of corporate corruption and deceit. (Sorry, this post's links keep getting removed.)
Be sure to see Glenn Greenwald's column on Salon.com, A Disturbing Threat Against One Of Our Own - Andy Greenberg at Forbes.com and Empty Wheel on Firedoglake.com have all provided excellent coverage.
When Anonymous activists cracked into HBGary's computer systems, they discovered elaborate plans and presentations to harass, intimidate and discredit Wikileaks supporters and critics of the Chamber of Commerce.
The plans were detailed in thousands of emails and several PowerPoint presentations that have been posted publicly on the internet.
Here is the page describing actions against attorney Glenn Greewald, a popular columnist at Salon.com
The key point many journalists miss is that these covert criminal activities threaten everyone. If a powerful person is worried about what you know or what you may say and wants you silenced, this can happen to you. You don't have to be a Wikileaks supporter or a whistle blower.
This is an important story. The impact of these disclosures on our freedom and democracy should NOT be overlooked.
People who stand up for what they believe in and what's right should not be harassed or intimidated. See http://HappinessHaccker.com and http://ReportingWrongdoing.com for my experiences.
Reporting Wrongdoing Should NOT Ruin Your Life!
