IMO this just reinforces xenophobia.

And makes people hate the hackers for disrupting web services.

Incriminating evidence of government activities, now that would be more effective.

Anonymous says it hacked...

NO IT DID NOT. When the fuck will the media learn what anonymous actually is?

I'd be impressed (though not in a positive way) if the script kiddies actually managed this, but they're most likely exaggerating and fibbing.

I live in hope.

The idea of a non-organization flying under an all-encompassing vaguely defined banner is something that is hard to grasp for people who don't hang out on the internet.

A mass of shitty hackers can eventually brute force through something. Anonymous does have some good hackers, but I doubt they go around saying "hae guyz look @ ma l33t haxin skillz!11!1111", like the more numerous idiots do.
