Here’s a pleasant surprise.
Anonymous Kidnapping Victim Released by Notorious Drug Cartel in Mexico
I thought for sure they were going to get their buddy killed. Our old pal Barrett Brown has decided to keep fucking with the cartels anyways.

On Thursday he posted a message on the Pastebin website claiming that, “the Anon[ymous] who had been kidnapped last month by the Zetas has been released, although it appears that the Zetas concerned did not know that the individual was the Anon[ymous] whose release had been demanded by those who instigated #OpCartel”. As a consequence of that, “no bargain has been fulfilled,” Brown added.

“Meanwhile, those who have been in possession of the emails have promised to provide them to me alone, which is to say that everything that proceeds from now on is my own work, and not that of Anonymous,” Brown continued. “Any reprisals against anyone other than myself, then, will have no effect.”

“I will be proceeding carefully and with the assistance of several parties who are equipped to assess the contents of these e-mails and particularly those portions dealing with Zeta collaborators. I’ll announce the next step in a few days,” Brown concluded.
