Tracking a terrorist through cyberspace

ON THE NET...
INTERNET-HAGANAH.com: "THE WEB BROWSER AND OPERATING SYSTEM PREFERENCES OF THE USERS OF THE TAJDEED FORUM" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "From an upcoming report by the Society For Internet Research regarding the users of the Tajdeed forum (tajdeed.org.uk and tajdeedi.co.uk) operated in the UK by the Saudi exile group Party of Islamic Renewal (PIR)") (April 14, 2006)
INTERNET-HAGANAH: "VIDEO OF LONDON BOMBERS CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Produced by Al Qaida's Al Sahab production company, presumably in Pakistan or Afghanistan, aired by Al Jazeera, and distributed on the internet by dear old Irhabi[Terrorist]007.") (September 2, 2005)
MSNBC.msn.com: "WEB VIDEO TEACHES TERRORISTS TO MAKE BOMB VESTS" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: ""The video was accompanied by a note that explained it was there for the purposes of aiding the brothers, the fighting brothers, in cities in central Iraq," says NBC terror analyst Evan Kohlmann. Related story Latest on the Mosul attack Specifically, the note mentioned wanting to help fighters in Fallujah, Ramadi and Mosul, though there's nothing to tie this to Tuesday's attack. The person who posted the note and video on the Internet called himself "terrorist007." NBC News will not reveal most details, but the video demonstrates each step of bomb making: *select a fabric and sew the vest; *mix explosives; *arrange shrapnel to kill victims in a large radius; *attach a detonator.")

See post 21. Irhabi 007 = Terrorist 007 for anyone not familiar with the story.
What inevitably happens with a debacle that’s likely to result from our government’s studious inaction is a loss of freedom on our part.
Government agencies now have the tools and authority to do what you’re doing, but should terrorists succeed due to recruitment and information spread on those web sites, there’ll be a chorus of outrage coming out of DC and demands for government control over the internet.
People will largely agree that speech on the ‘net should be closely regulated if it saves just ONE life and we’ll all lose a little more freedom thanks to another government-created mess.
ooops, do scare me = do not scare me.
"Terrorists also seek sanctuary in the cyber domain, particularly the Internet, an inexpensive, geographically unbounded, and largely unconstrained virtual haven for our enemies. Terrorists use the Internet to create and disseminate propaganda, recruit new members, raise funds, and plan operations. The Internet has become a training ground, with terrorists acquiring instruction once possible only through physical training camps. In addition to discrediting their terrorist propaganda on the Internet with the promotion of truthful messages, we will seek to deny the Internet to our terrorist enemies as an effective safe haven for their recruitment, fund-raising, training, and operational planning."
Thank you for posting these links. Happy New Year.
I see the Government playing “Dwayne” against the internet crusaders playing “John McClain” from Diehard.
Happy New Year to you too!
Excellent analogy :)
Thanks.
Bump.
I see you survived the big chill.
was your power out?
Only for awhile. We didn’t even have time to fire up the generator.
