#1 Desperately trying to shift attention from their destructive attack upon Sony's Playstation Network. 77 million PO'd gamers worldwide are not going to be distracted by trying to garner 'plus' points by this PR move.

#2 Self-delusion is a big part of Anonymous. Typically they argue that nobody can stop them because there are too many of them. Then, when you point out that the USG doesn't care how many of them there are, that it will go after every one of them; they try the 'quality' argument, that there *might* be some of them in the US intelligence agencies that would "protect" them.
