Kathryn Cramer, the investigative blogger who tracked down a lot of the information on the use of hired mercenaries to fight in Iraq under the guise of "civilian contractors," has found herself under attack by the readers of Little Green Footballs, apparently at the behest of proprietor Charles Johnson (who took a cheap shot at Boing Boing yesterday — thanks for the traffic, Charles), whom he calls his "lizardoid minions." One of the goons posting to Kathryn's blog is a member of the California Bar; Kathryn's doing what needs to be done to see to it that this breach of professional ethics is thoroughly documented and brought to the attention of the Bar's Ethics Committee.
