Apparently, for many of the hackers present, it was an issue of snitching. That's pretty stupid. I don't think there's any "no snitching" ethic that would obligate a gun enthusiast to keep his mouth shut when he sees somebody killed with a gun. I don't see why hacking should be any different. I question Lamo's motives, and I disagree with what he did (because I think the U.S. government dishonestly sweeps its mistakes under the rug of "classified for reasons of national security,") but he could have done what he did from a pure motive to protect civilians, soldiers, and U.S. interests.
