Well, that certainly is fucked now, isn't it? I'm racing out to NYC in the morning to cover the May Day shit, but I'm telling Adriana Usero, one of our kickass producers, to touch base with you asap. I have a feeling Tuesday's protests are going to have the newsroom ungodly busy, but I'll yell at her to figure stuff out. Last I heard from her, she was hoping to get you on the Skype for Wednesday. Hope to see ya then.

Best,
Andrew

Actually, yes. I just found out that HBGary hired someone to try to
find something to "get me picked up on," infiltrate Anonymous, etc -
The Backtrace people. Their e-mails were released recently and the guy
who did it has been releasing bits of it. I learned that Backtrace was
doing this for the FBI two days ago and just learned about HBGary's
involvement ten minutes ago.
