Anonymous Takes On a Mexican Drug Cartel

[Pigeon]

After one of their members was kidnapped in Veracruz, Mexico by the Zetas drug cartel, Mexican Anonymous members have issued an ultimatum to the Zetas in a recently posted YouTube video. The video demands the release of the kidnapped member and threatens to publish information of cartel members and affiliates in Veracruz if the victim is not released by November 5. The Houston Chronicle article warns that there will be bloodshed if Anonymous publishes information on the Zeta's operations, either perpetrated by rival cartels or reprisal attacks by the Zetas themselves.

Sure why do anything...treat it like the US political system and economy and let it ride.

Sounds like a bluff to me. If they really had names wouldn't they have released a few in order to prove it?

I really like hearing stories like this about Anonymous. I read the other day that they hacked some child porn website and released people's information and stuff. I really think Anonymous should get more "obvious bad guys". It would be good PR and maybe help their cause if they had more support from regular people who don't see the big picture.

for all their boasting, when have we seen evidence that they're actually effective?

I think the whole thing's pretty entertaining. I hope they keep it up.
