It's interesting to hear the other side of this. Up to now I had thought Anonymous was an honest, if sometimes misguided bunch (although I also realize they're not really a unified group), but what you say about their "database hack" claim makes sense; I've seen the data and it really doesn't look like something that would have come from a proper database. Although to give them a little benefit of the doubt I do recall early reports saying they "thought" it was the user database, perhaps the uncertainty just got lost in the media frenzy.

That said, and I strongly disagree with the methods; their disregard for the collateral damage they caused is appalling. And as for their goal itself, well I'm sure some honestly thought they were doing a good thing, but to me it looks like the real point was just to show off their hacking "skills" on an acceptable target.
