Dear Mr. Brown:

Hope you are well and making good progress on your book and other research.

I am wondering if you might be able to help us contact others who worked with Anonymous and might be willing to relate their efforts in the Libya, Tunisia or similar operations. The Pay Pal,  MasterCard and WikiLeaks related stuff, as well as the Sony/Playstation and HBGary Federal operations would also be great, but I realize that it is unlikely that people would want to come out and talk about participation in those for rather obvious reasons. We can mask identity and use pixilated etc; faces and scrambled voices if people want this type of anonymity. But they’d have to do some form of on-camera interview so that we could be relatively sure that we have a real person etc;

If you have any ideas for me, or some names, I’d appreciate it. I can be reached at this e-mail address, or at 757-564-6331. That’s in Virginia, and my wife teaches school, so if you call, please don’t call past 9 pm, as that’s when she goes to sleep to get up early and teach.

Either way, Ed Noguchi will likely be in touch in a week or so to set up a time and day for your interview.

Just in case you want a reminder on the details, we are doing a 30-minute segment of “Close-Up Gendai,” which is the most popular prime-time news program in Japan (sort of like 20-20). It will be seen primarily in Japan, but will also likely be available in Germany and on “Japan TV,” which is available on Dish Network satellite TV and a number of cable systems in the U.S. and Canada. There is also sporadic availability in other countries. The audience in Japan alone is often 15  million. So it’s a good place to get a message out.  

Thanks for your help,

Bob.
