Of course, I suppose it would be somewhat redundant to mention COINTELPRO, warrantless GPS tracking, and the phony terrorist bombing plots created out of whole cloth.
The FBI is a governmental agency tasked with the duty of upholding the law and serving the public.
And a pretty piss-poor job they've been doing, at that. Unless you consider siding with corporate and media interests over the people "serving the public." Oh, wait - judging by your history, you do.
Anonymous is a bunch of hackers who engage in criminal behavior.
And the FBI would never stoop to criminal behavior. They would never manufacture evidence. They would never lie in court. They would never wiretap without warrant.
Who do you think has more to lose from getting caught lying?
Given the FBI's storied history of lying through their proverbial teeth and not giving and apparent rat's ass about how it affects their public image, I would have to say that Anonymous would.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: What do App developers need UDID's for?
That's right, keep repeating it over and over again until people start to believe you.
You know who else repeated things over and over again until people believed him, don't you?
