RE: Barrett here

Hi Barrett,

Hope all is well. I had a few questions i was hoping you could help answer...

I spoke with Commander X who told me that, essentially, he and his group (though i'm not sure who is in that group) reached out to Sabu and his crew to help with the Tunisia attacks b/c of their hacking skills. In other words, it was X and a few others who brought the politics into Anon and then connected with skilled hackers to help them achieve their political goals. Is that true? Can you expand on that a bit so i understand it better?

Also, when we spoke on the phone i didn't quite get some of the stuff you said about Sabu and Hammond and so forth so i was wondering if you could just reiterate it, maybe, in an email...

- you had issues with Sabu? what kind?
- and with Hammond, you said you also had issues with him, but that seemed to be based more on his politics. So i'm curious how much you guys discussed politics, or if you recall a particular conversation that really crystallized your differences, or was particularly memorable.

Thanks - as one journalist to another, i know you can understand how these kinds of details and anecdotes are so important.

Best,
