Hi,
CNN International's
prime time program 'Connect The World' would like to interview a member of your
organisation today regarding Wikileaks.
We can blur or
disguise identities in anyway needed. We can do interviews via Skype, telephone
or any other way that suits you. Pre-recorded or live is
fine.
Our program, Connect
The World is seen in 270 million homes around the world - so it is an excellent
opportunity to get the message of your group to a large
audience.
Would this be a
possibility?
Many
thanks,
James
Williams
Planning Producer, CNN International

I am available for interviews. My name is Gregg Housh, you can hit up google news to see me in the NYT and many other things in the last few days to get a feel for it.
When would you want to do it? I was in town 2 nights ago live on the CBC show Connect with Mark Kelly. So I've done the studio thing before if you wanted to do that.
If you want to do a skype interview with someone I can pass you off to a british person who is more than willing to do those.
Gregg

Hi,
We have missed the time for tonight, but we may well want
to do something tomorrow... So shall we speak then?
We can do either studio or skype....
Thanks,
James

Visa's website is the next target being talked about on the anonymous irc servers. And it already seems to be down, just FYI.

And one last thing before I stop bothering you tonight:
Sarah Palin seems to be claiming that Anonymous has hacked her accounts, or somehow hacked her credit card.
No one on the chats anywhere I can find believes this, and no one is taking any credit. Everyone is screaming that "we" did not do it.
8:05 < Anon420> you need to make it clear we didnt attack palin and that shes lying

OK great, can we get you into a studio, or would you prefer

What exactly is your role in all this?

I am an observer. I have done things with Anonymous in the past, never the illegal activities. I help admin the Why We Protest website (http://forums.whyweprotest.net) which plays a big role in the fight against Scientology. I am still around all of the people involved in these things and I am monitoring everything and sitting in their chats. Because I have done a few of these already they are happy to let me keep doing them so no one else has to show their face or name.

Few questions:
Are you and Coldblood the same person?
Are you doing anything else on CNN?
