Just because you disagree with their actions it doesn't mean that they were just random script-kiddies. I am not a hacker but it certainly seemed like they had at least a modicum of true skill.

For some reason it seems that most people can't differentiate between the skill and morality of an action.

They did not have a modicum of skill. I'm neutral on their endeavours, however LOIC and SQL injection is skiddy stuff.

Why would a hacker use something overly complex when the site in question was vulnerable to SQL injection? Do true hackers with 'mad skillz' spend months to find truly unique hacks to express their artistry as well as their skills?

Why do you call those people hackers? Hackers build things, don't piss on other people's work.

Sorry. I thought that "black hat" was implicit.

LOIC, yes, but that was anonymous. SQL injection is a vulnerability - it does not make you good or bad for using it.
