These kids are just trying to exploit this situation for publicity. But I have no problem with them trying.
Except they can do some things that the governments might have their hands tied over or are reluctant to act upon.

We'll see. <shrug>

Simply put, we must eradicate these #$%$ like the vermin that they are. They seek refuge in places like schools, hospitals and offices so that when they are bombed, they blame us for being murderers of the innocent. This is double talking hogwash. They murder indiscriminately and then say it is Allah's will, when we retaliate, we are the infidels and barbaric murderers. Here's a tip for you politically correct weak minded pansies. They will never stop, they will never give up, and they will never surrender. They must be eliminated at all levels no matter the cost, no matter the innocent, no matter what!

I agree.

And ISIS has been trying, for years, to amass enough tech talent to hack into our power grids, financial markets, communication systems, and anything that could disrupt our way of life. Luckily, they have not been able to recruit that kind of talent. But Anonymous has.

It's not about disrupting their Twitter account.

Anonymous is talented enough to hit them where they live; their bank accounts.

I'm okay with Anonymous getting into a cyber fight with Daesh. If all hackers spent their time picking fights with people like Daesh, Al Queda, etc... that's not such a bad thing. Might actually do some good in this world vs. stealing from decent people. Sort of like a cyber Robin Hood.

Seriously? If the government could have tracked down and taken Anonymous offline they would have. They might be young (probably are based on my knowledge of cybersecurity) but they are effective. Having a rogue agency seeking to disrupt and/or cripple electronic communications between any terrorist group and their field operatives can be a very potent ally for the Western world.
