I agree I don't need to see those pics either however Anonymous delivers to the public what the government would rather us not know. That's why Julian Assange is facing charges, they're pissed because he blew the whistle on so many scandals and war crimes. Some info should stay classified, I do agree on that. But some of the info hidden from us, I believe we have a RIGHT to know. Bradley Manning is another prime example, he get's a Nobel Peace prize nomination, but is still facing criminal punishment. I have only been following what's been going on since January 18th when wikipedia and other large sites as well as many small sites went black for 24 hours in protest to SOPA/PIPA. I am saddened that I didn't "wake up" sooner.
