    The Fact that the government wats "hacktivists" to chill out only gives them more reason to do more damage. The way I figure it, if u wanted to do some mess like that to say, Taliban alligned web sites, they very well deserve it. The slipping of a nimba worm would shure as hell put some sugar in their gas tank. Under these circumstances however, I would go pester the Army, Navy, Marines, and FBI to give u a job doing what u do best. If ur gonna get lost in a sea of lies, u might as well have some fun doing it.
