Barrett-

Hi, it's John Cook from Gawker. I've obtained, via former Anons who say they are disenchanted with recent anon operations, logs of the "HQ" chat over the course of a few days in February. The people who provided them say they've provided same to the FBI and Army CID, along with their estimations as to the identities of the various handles. We're going to be publishing some of the chats tomorrow (Friday), and I wanted to give you a chance to respond/weigh in on what appears to be a breach in security for anonymous.

The folks who provided them say they feel that anonymous has become megalomaniacal, and focused more on vindictive hacks than on free speech. The logs show detailed discussions of the HBGary hack and subsequent plans for next targets. For instance:

17:46 <&Sabu> hunton.com will be a nice fucking hit

17:46 <&marduk> hm see potential vulns?

17:48 <&Sabu> yeah

17:48 <&Sabu> I see some potential openings

17:48 <&marduk> :]

17:49 <&Sabu> we could rape these niggers

Anyway, let me know if you have any comment.
