If they can do this they should. Not for any moral reason, but because if they can do it then so can people who would try to do far more damage - if they can do it then the vulnerability needs to be patched.

If this were their stated reason, well... they would be stealing the plot of Die Hard 4, but I would be OK with it.  

Their reason is just to prove that they are still out there and strong after the Lulzsec take down.  NSA is watching though, don't think if they do this there wont be MAJOR consequences for many of the members.  

It's not the reason they're doing it. It's just the effect it will have.
