How they did find out who the man was? It seems he used only a nick name on his account. Did they ask Twitter for the identity? This is disturbing.

When I first read reports of it, I don't think he really attempted to hide his link to the alias. That being said, if you tick off a government enough, they will find a way to trace you (anonymous twitter or not).
