    Very interesting - this is definitely something we should be using in our presentation. A similar example is one that I had tweeted about a few days ago regarding the Steubenville rape case. http://localleaks.blogs.ru/2013/01/01/steubenvillefiles/ - it's gotten much more attention since Anonymous began publishing information about it, but it relates to the justice system, which many agree is an authority on truth to the best of its ability. The Steubenville case is interesting because those with high standing in the legal system being used the prosecute the case (the county sheriff, the prosecutor, etc.) all acted to either eliminate information that could have been used as evidence to bring the guilty to justice or ignored any and all semblance of reason as to not taint the boys' status as stars of the high school football team (which was extremely important to the town - their football team brought much attention to the town and had a heavy impact on the economy).
