That sounds great to me, I really do want to focus on Anonymous anyway since it is so often poorly covered (and understandably so). 1,000 words?

Hi Barrett

No need to invoice; you should get an email shortly confirming payment. Was a great success; thanks for checking out the thread.

Could be up for comment on Anon, but feel a bit WikiLeaked out right now. Could we angle it another way... maybe look at Chanology and Housh instead and their work?

Best, Matt

You have quite a few very well-informed commenters, particularly relative to what I'm used to. Let me know if I should send an invoice (if you're still able to pay a stipend for this first one).
I've been working with the Anonymous movement in general and the fellow who launched the Chanology operations against Scientology in particular and have been trying to make the case for some of what they've been doing in support of Wikileaks. I may be doing my third book with that fellow, Greg Housh, who himself has been doing the media rounds over the past few weeks in defense of both organizations. Let me know if you'd be interested in a piece on Anonymous and why, whether or not one approves of everything they've done, it represents a new sort of crowd-sourced dynamic that will only grow more significant as the information age continues to develop.

Thanks, Matt. I'll get back to you at some point soon with a couple of ideas for future columns.

Hi Barrett

Jonathan has kindly forwarded me your piece about the memorial to Robert E Lee in Texas etc, which I like very much and would gladly run on Comment is free America (and the main Cif).

If you could please send me a short biog and a head-and-shoulders photo (preferably colour) of yourself, that would be great. If you could provide some weblinks for the references in your article, that would be a bonus (though I can find some if necessary).

I'm on a very tight budget, which means I can't always pay for content, but I can find one of our modest fees for this. Please feel free to pitch ideas in future.

Best, Matt
