Anonymous Releases Restricted NATO Document

Posted by timothy on from the more-where-that-came-from dept.

angry tapir writes "Anonymous has released a document marked 'restricted' from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The 36-page document, which is dated Aug. 27, 2007, appears to be budget and equipment outlays for what was termed a new 'HQ ISAF JOINT CIS CONTROL CENTRE.' NATO's press office could not be immediately reached. Anonymous claimed on its 'AnonymousIRC' Twitter handle that it has 1GB of material from NATO but said that most would not be published because it would be 'irresponsible.'"

    It's interesting if Anonymous is actually taking that stance about the docs. I understood they were being sarcastic. The documents should be published in their entirety or Anonymous would appear to support the militarist and secretive paradigm they claim to oppose.

    IF WW3 would result from that, it wouldn't be the fault of those who released the documents but those responsible for the action in said documents.

    I find it hard to understand why people try to blame the messenger, while the original perpetrator is ignored completely. Are people really this stupid?

  3. Because most Anon's aren't American. by elucido · · Score: 1, Interesting

    It should be obvious that most Anon's are foreign nationals, or from places like Europe, China, Russia, etc.

    Most Anon's are focused only on hacking the US/Western establishment. That being said there have been Anon's who were American nationals.
