Left up all night, boy that’s dedication. I spoke to my computer guy and he couldn’t come up with a reason but doubts that NSA has anything to do with it. Have you sent hate mail to Al Jazeera? ;-) Didn’t know the Hornet reference, but according to Google it is Charlotte, NC area?
Here is another link for you. It starts with fact of US using Tomahawk missles at Syria about 2 months ago, but quickly descends into a lot of long, interesting, and knowledgeable comments about the entire Syria and rebels situation in great and complex detail:

Today I heard a reference to the variety of names used for rebels, IS ISIS, ISIL, and a new one Daesh. I think they said something about crushing under foot, but could not remember for sure, so back to Google. Islamic State is liked by them and gives them the legitimacy of statehood. Most say don’t use it. British Muslims suggest using Un-Islamic State, use it themselves and UK media are starting to as well. Obama and British moved from ISIS (Islamic State in Syria) to ISIL (Islamic State in the Levant). Levant is an old term which encompasses Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, etc. Since it includes State, also not good to use. Besides ISIS is a beloved goddess of Egypt and others. She doesn’t deserve this disrespect. Daesh, Diesh, Da’esh, Daech, and others is apparently considered quite insulting by Arab speakers, has connotations of crushing (perhaps under foot). Remember the great insult to Bush of the thrown shoe. I say we go with Daesh or a variant. Let’s keep them pissed off and off balance!!

Those comments show up just fine. Thanks for the links. Interesting info.
I went to AJ’s home page and then to other articles, and the comments show up there, too, just fine. So, there’s something about that one link, but I’m not sure what...
