Barrett Brown here; Anonymous spokesman and strategist, etc. I've been informed that your colleague Chris Barth is about to be fed some false info by the people who have hijacked one of our participants' Twitter accounts, @dstufft. Suffice to say that if one examines the twitter feed over last 24 hours as well as mine, you will see that their information is quite flawed; they cited an eight-year-old address as my current home despite me openly living in Dallas and even writing for D Magazine and thought they had something big when they noted I was with Anonymous even though I've been cited as such for two weeks now in NYT, Bloomberg, and elsewhere. Also thought that this e-mail address was a revelation even though it is listed on most of my work. If Barth runs anything they provide, it will be at the risk of damaging innocents whom this particular group of people - former programmers for WhyWeProtest.net, an Anon property run by Gregg Housh, and led by a Wiccan (seriously) - believe are actually involved in hacking. Let me know if you have any questions about this, and thanks.
