Hactivist group Anonymous claims to have taken down the websites of Interpol and a British police force as part of a campaign calling for the freedom of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

Several Twitter accounts associated with the loose-knit Anonymous collective have announced that the website of International Criminal Police Organization was taken down. The site was unavailable as of 9:18 pm GMT but resumed functioning soon after.

The hackers also claim to have taken down the website of the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), a UK police unit responsible for operations against serious and organized crime ...

1. Because Interpol makes determinations of guilt now?

Wow. I did not understand how the legal system works. Funny thing is, I wonder if any of these web sites have important functions and by disabling them, Anonymous is crippling other law enforcement operations.

Hiding behind computers and throwing sucker punches is not the way to make changes to the system.

Even Pussy Riot was more 'in your face' than these faceless ones.

2. Yep. Scotland Yard's site was down for a day or two as well; might still be.

3. I certainly don't

want any agency to produce organized crime by legislative etc. measures and justify themselves by claiming to fight the organized crime they created in the first place.

E.g. agency like US Congress to create drug crimes by prohibition laws and then DEA etc. to "fight" against those crimes.

It's idiotic and insane to create problems and then more and more problems to "fix" the problems you caused in the first place. Just stop causing problems.
