Who Built the Syrian Electronic Army?

I understand how, in the forums. it's kind of like saying "tag" to dump the personal details on someone, but I would expect Krebs to take it up a notch and try to figure out perhaps where the funding comes from, the operations they SEA is running, and perhaps the motivations.

I wonder what would happen if something like this happened to an US citizen. I bet there would be enough room for a legal action.
