In a few years, when the 101st is rested and refitted, we can send them on Operation Pancho II. Their rallying cry can be “Remember Barrett Brown”.

Even Barrett says, “It’s possible this is all a big hoax, (but)…” But he’s going to get involved anyway. Then he continues:

“I’m more involved in this because of the possibility of striking a blow against the Zetas. …”
He’s so damn naive. From the link on my Page:

On the conflict side, as anyone who watches Mexico knows, the violence and corruption goes far beyond the killings of a few bloggers or attacks against hackers. Mayors, local police, traditional journalists and illegal migrants, are among the many people targeted by the criminal organizations. Tens of thousands have been killed in recent years. The threat to Mexico is much more offline than online, and the solution must be more about actions on the ground to improve institutions, combat corruption and stop criminal violence than any actions that cyber-activists may take.

Emphasis added. I hope he doesn’t get more people killed who otherwise would not have been. Even if he does, it would be hard to tell, because there are so many murders. The latest figures I see are about twice what the news reports say, about 80,000 since 2006.

He’s just a naive drug addict.
