Hello,
 
Great I'll call in about 2 or 3 hours if that's okay. Not sure about the Guardian, try contacting Brian Whitaker (you could try via @guardian).
 
Looking forward to speaking with you.

Yasmine-

It is currently noon my time; I should be available to talk between now and midnight, so feel free to call at any time. Also let me know if the Guardian would be interested in running an op-ed regarding Anonymous' intent and the context that has prompted us to act.

Dear Barrett,
 
Many thanks for getting in touch. I'm definitely interested in speaking with you. I would be very grateful for the chance to speak with someone about Anonymous's operations against government websites .
 
Let me know when would be the best time to call you to discuss this.
 
Many thanks,
 
Yasmine

Subject: Anonymous movement interview

Hello, Yasmine-

This is Barrett Brown; I'm a contributor to Vanity Fair, The Guardian, Skeptical Inquirer, and other outlets and also serve as a sort of activist in service of such things as Wikileaks. I'm also a longtime participant in Anonymous' actions against various entities, which is to say I'm not really a journalist any more. I am writing to you because the de facto leadership of the faction of Anonymous which has been operating against various governments and other entities have identified you as someone who is capable of reporting on their actions in a fair manner - not necessarily entirely positive, but rather in a way that conveys their intent - and would like to grant you exclusive information on their new efforts against the Tunisian government and other such things. If this interests you, let me know, and I will provide you instructions on how to connect to their IRC channel or otherwise make contact.
