Perhaps the CIA allowed them to hack in order to trace them and arrest them? It is kind of what they do among other things.

“CIA TANGO DOWN” reads an Anonymous-affiliated Twitter account. It’s military-speak for eliminating a hostile force that has infilitrated hacker circles as an announcement of a successful attack.

Technology and the understanding of said technology to that level is merely a tool, much like the atomic bomb.
Do you also gritt your teeth for scientists?
Point being it all resides with the man behind the machine. Balance is needed in all systems. Anyone can do something online and flag it as Anonymous if they want. It all comes down to who cares and wants to act. Hackers are human too. Is a security expert employed by a corporate entity a Hacker? Or is only the shady figure hidden in the corner lit by a computer a Hacker?
The World Needs Anonymous right now....

Indeed and to deal with those issues you have groups like Lulzsec Teampoison etc. Many of which have members that used to be anons before coming to the realization you pointed out yourself and moving off in their own direction.

LOL. It has been many moons since I have laughed that hard. I could only watch a minute of it, but that was too funny.
