[sf-lug] Black hats declare war on Scientology

[Ernest De Leon]

I think it is pretty clear who Anonymous is (if that even makes any sense?),
so I seriously doubt that FOSS will get the blame for Anonymous' actions.
There are plenty of closed source tools that do the same.  In this
situation, I'm pretty sure they will be looking at the group not the tools.
But at the same time, the authorities (much like myself) are probably
sitting back laughing at what's about to happen.  They really don't care and
Anonymous is actually doing the world a favor.  I'm all for it.
