The rise of organized "astroturfing"
http://j.mp/gqEHli (Guardian UK)
"It now seems that these operations are more widespread, more
sophisticated and more automated than most of us had guessed.
Emails obtained by political hackers from a US cyber-security
firm called HBGary Federal suggest that a remarkable
technological armoury is being deployed to drown out the voices
of real people."
