Hey, Barrett. So, the on the HBGary hit isn't going in this week's magazine, but next. They decided they liked the story and wanted to bump it up a little. Bascially, the theme is that raiding the network of a security firm, you guys have stumbled on unexpected evidence for what you've been saying all along: The secrets of governments and corporations are more sinister than we think.

But they'd like me to talk to one more member. I've already chatted with owen, who did a great job. Is there someone else who wouldn't mind talking about the group. It could be Gregg, I guess. But there might be someone like owen who can talk about why they got into, why they think it's important.

Thoughts?

Nothing specific. I'm looking into the extent of NSA involvement in the silent partners such as Endgame and am hoping to prompt reporters to look into the general angle of how govt agencies were fine with these crimes. Chamber of Commerce is my new target, meanwhile.

Even funnier is that this took a week and an input from the crisis
specialist to produce this: http://www.hbgary.com/statement.htm

<http://www.hbgary.com/statement.htm>Also, Palantir suspended Steckman after
we sent out the data on his activities. He better consider my offer; no way
he's not getting quietly fired in like two months.

That's funny. I just talked to a communication crisis specialist they
hired who repeated, although it was only what she'd *heard,* the 15 percent
figure.
