anon are working on a website atm, so people can browse through the hbgary information and emails. Then people will be aable to make up there own minds..
Helping to secure and mirror wikleaks site. setting up routes so people can circumnavigate governmental firewalls in represive regimes. Helping by sending information into counties were information is censored. supporting the global protests by taking down government websites and peacefully protesting by ddos on sites like mastercard and visa. They have helped expose information that needs to be in the public eye
what is wrong with that..?

I would be careful of mirror sites any more. You never know who volunteered there servers so they can watch the traffic. The government loves there Honeypot Projects. And what better Honeypot then a mirror of the site they all want to visit.

Argument from ignorance, also known as argumentum ad ignorantiam or appeal to ignorance, is an informal logical fallacy. It asserts that a proposition is necessarily true because it has not been proven false (or vice versa). This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes a third option, which is: there is insufficient investigation and therefore insufficient information to "prove" the proposition to be either true or false. Nor does it allow the admission that the choices may in fact not be two (true or false), but may be as many as four; with (3) being unknown between true or false; and (4) being unknowable (among the first three). And finally, any action taken, based upon such a pseudo "proof" is fallaciously valid, that is, it is being asserted to be valid based upon a fallacy.[1] In debates, appeals to ignorance are sometimes used to shift the burden of proof.

lol, I was thinking something similar.
Wikileaks, Stuxnet....all a bit too coincidental eh?
They are able to bring perverts online to justice, same as those dealing with pirated material.
Yet they couldn't stop the leaking of classified documents, which largely regarding the US were "gossip pieces", but have created havoc in the Middle East.
Now this "Anonymous" group has gotten hold of stuxnet....gee, if heads aren't rolling yet inside government departments after all this, really makes you wonder.

Purplemer, they could use new exploits but I don't see them using it for its intended purpose, at least the exploits were a threat for the time they were unpatched. As for them being twats, just look at what they have done in the past.
Anonymous and the global correction A loosely organised group of hackers has been targeting oppressive regimes and has said this is just the beginning
Now the best thing to do is to judge them on what the have managed to achieve as a collective group.

Why did Isreal and America develop such sophisticated virus. They must have known when they made it that the code could be tweaked by people in the know.

I hope every one in Anon, or any other Hacker group gets nailed for Treason under espionage act of 1917. Brought in and hung, While their "Friends" watch. They will be caught eventually its not a matter of "if" but When. I for one can't wait for that day. If only I was still in law enforcement I would have a fun beating these morons.
