Matt-
Sure thing, expect it in a few hours.
Sent from my iPhoneHi Barrett
Our LA correspondent has interviewed this guy John Arquilla, a professor of defence analysis at the US Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/jul/10/us-master-hackers-al-qaida
He seems to think that hackers could be 'turned' to patriotic, state purposes, if only the USG was less paranoid and keen on prosecuting them. This seems a remarkably naive reading of most hackers' political philosophy and motivation.
Would you like to write a reply, drawing on your insight into the community? Asap, please: 600-700 words; modest fee as per.
Best, Matt
