Anonymous/LulzSec: Uzani, his army with fists open

They are sailing to Tanagra.

Following the AntiSec freedom-fighters, Anonymous, Abhaxas, and Atopiary on Twitter has been a mindblowing trip (OMG, ip is so over her head). A LulzSec hacker was arrested recently after pnking Sony, the FBI, and the US Senate, among others. The other day, Abhaxas accessed the Yellowstone County, Montana website. PC World describes LulzSec's hijinx thusly:
A statement the group has posted says going public with user personal details after a hack attack is better than keeping exploits private. It gives users a chance to change their passwords, the group says. Such public releases are also arguably good for websites too. After the group published 26,000 emails and passwords stolen from porn sites last week, Facebook automatically locked every account linked to the email addresses, stopping the kind of unauthorized access LulzSec discusses. LulzSec says its hack attacks will continue until “we’re brought to justice, which we might well be.” The group denies it's locked in a hacker war wioX similar group Anonymous. This had been suggested after LulzSec targeted the 4Chan website with a denial of service attack following attempts by 4Chan users to expose members of LulzSec.
Ok, so motive is established and now a warrior is offered to the opposing forces: Usani, his army with fists open.

These results warmed the cockles of my heart:
My feelings about the proposed expansion of the Keystone XL pipeline 
Fear and loathing 13 (68%)
Complete embrace 4 (21%)
Resignation 1 (5%)
Ambivalence 1 (5%)
Other 0 (0%)
