The FBI may be having the “last lulz” today after arresting five top LulzSec members based on reports from one of the group’s own.
Police in the U.S., Great Britain and Ireland took the men, alleged to be top members of Lulzsec, into custody Tuesday morning. The arrests were made based on intelligence handed to police by Hector Xavier Monsegur, or “Sabu,” who is considered to be the leader of LulzSec. Monsegur had been “secretly arrested” and turned into a “cooperating witness” by the FBI, according to a Fox News report.
“This is devastating to the organization,” an FBI official told FoxNews.com. “We’re chopping off the head of LulzSec.”

The article, in all the many citations, is more of a puff piece and propagandizing how the FBI is doing something other than running illegal operations internationally and domestically.
This is why I and many others aren't that excited or convinced of the veracity and content of this news nor most main stream media missives.

let's try some plausible scenarios instead of easy bake labels:
what about Agent Provocateur?
COINTELPRO isn't just a history lesson.
What about the removal of limitations on torturing citizens courtesy of the NDAA?
Jail would be the least of worries when a person can be declared 'enemy combatant'.
Is this going to be any more verifiable than scapegoating some useful idiot in a plot to kill foreign ambassadors of favored nations?
The story is just breaking and has yet to have a chance at being scrutinized.
Please stop shooting from the emotional hip and start looking for verification other than rehashed MSM sources
Where's the unofficial #lulzsec response on youtube perhaps...

Looks like the threat of losing his kids played some role in his dropping the dime.
