Thom Hartmann: Are Hacktivists becoming the new journalists? Lulzsec releases arizona police files. PIRATE HACKERS AT YOUR EXPENSE Lulzsec has released a slew of confidential documents it lifted right out from under the nose of the Arizona Department of Public Safety, fulfilling its promise to leak secret government information. The group issued its 'Chinga La Migra bulletin' in a release on its web site. The bulletin is a massive document detailing a huge number of files. The document, which is available as a torrent download, contains "private intelligence bulletins, training manuals, personal email correspondence, names, phone numbers, addresses and passwords", according to the bulletin.
