I find it a strange position for Wired to be in.

On the one side, they offer quality articles and have quality resources. They seem to favor the hackers.

On the other side, this article was written by Kevin Poulsen, who had a part in turning over a whistleblower and journalist source to the authorities. Kevin Poulson has made himself too related to anonymous and WikiLeaks to be regarded as objective on these matters.

I know that isn't reason to judge any article of his, but the extra care I'm forced to take when Poulson is involved (consider his sources, morals and agenda), leaves me with a sour taste in my mouth and an inability to enjoy reading this article.
