[If the websites are overseas, it is very possible (if not probable) that some of these sites are funding terrorism and the like.]
"Not likely. This is a capitalistic endeavor. The goal of the terrorists is to destroy the infratructure that makes capitalism possible."
Terrorists and crooks both need financing and are involved in many "capitalistic" endeavors. The Bin Laden family had made their money in "legitimate" business endeavors, mainly, the construction business. CHECK OUT THE FOLLOWING, then get back to me: Anti-terrorism Bill Includes Internet Gambling Provisions After the Financial Services Committee of the United States House of Representatives heard testimony from the Federal Bureau of Investigation that Internet gambling is vulnerable to terrorist financing schemes, the committee has included an amendment to anti-terrorism legislation that would bar Internet gambling sites access to United States financial services systems via the use of credit cards, wire transfers, and other bank instruments. Committee Chairman Mike Oxley (R-Ohio) said that he would introduce the managers amendment to his portion of the legislation, which includes measures related to fighting terrorism not expressly recommended by the 9/11 Commission, such as Internet gambling, Washington, D.C., newspaper The Hill reports.

Internet gambling is vulnerable to terrorist financing schemes, You don't see any difference between an internet gambling site being use as a money laundering mechanism, and the site itself actively funding terrorists? We've seen basically the same thing with Hillary using cattle futures to launder illegal campaign contributions from Tyson, but I don't remember anyone proposing outlawing commodity futures trading as the way to stop it.
