I'm confused about the relationship between Anti-Sec (in the sense of the wikipedia article) and Anonymous. Anti-Sec is "dedicated to eradicating full-disclosure of vulnerabilities and exploits and free discussion on hacking related topics" [1]. In contrast, Anonymous is a strong backer of Wikileaks which would seem to be squarely behind the concept of full disclosure (except insofar as it could undermine the process of full disclosure).
I wonder if LulzSec even intended to make this connection. This "call to action" is quite different from the Anti-Sec mission statement, but I would have a hard time believing they weren't aware of previous use of "Anti-Sec".
