> “It was in retaliation for Megaupload, as was the concurrent attack on Justice.gov,” Anonymous operative Barrett Brown tells RT on Thursday afternoon.
Barrett Brown is neither a pseudonym, nor an operative. He was, at one time, a self-described spokesman for Anonymous. He since has said that he is no longer an active participant, but that he hangs out in IRC to keep abreast of goings-on.
I hope that's a pseudonym.
