College Professor Puts up Federally Funded Website that Teaches How to Kill

[Lecie]

And you found this where and who wrote it ?

[larry h]

Another cowardly University Professor....won't do it himself
but will "encourage", under cover of a disclaimer, other
cowardly anarchist to act.....

Please provide a link for credibility...

However, Austin rejected the plea offer

If there isn't a lot more to the story than related here, then I actually applaud his integrity not to plead guilty to something he is not guilty of. I could see a "no contest" plea but not a "guilty" plea. His activity probably ought to be illegal, and if anybody ever used these plans to create mayhem he should have his pants sued off, but I don't think it's illegal since the only apparent intent is to be stunningly tasteless.

I'm not sure if this is it, but a quick google search turned up something called www.raisethefist.com

Touretsky has a site that tells you where to look for information on CSS descramblers, a way of getting around the CD music copyright laws.

It's at http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/DeCSS/Gallery/.

Bomb making would seem to be a more serious matter. I'd like to see a link for it.

Hey, nothing enhances your life expectancy quite like taking explosives advice from an amateur Che wannabe. He forgot the part about testing the impact fuse with a claw hammer...

There you go. According to the site:

I'm a registered Republican, so needless to say, I don't agree with Sherman Austin's politics, much less his actions. But I'm curious why the FBI would include this Reclaim Guide as part of their justification for raiding a private citizen's home and carting off all his computers and political literature. Since when is it illegal to write about explosives? According to the search warrant, Austin was violating Title 18, United States Code, Section 842(p), which makes it unlawful to: ...

In the current climate of fear and concern, why would any loyal American publish such information on the Web? Indeed, as we reflect on the anniversary of the September 11th terrorist strike, including the tragic crash of United Flight 93 in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, less than 100 miles from Carnegie Mellon University where Touretzky teaches, one can only wonder what his true intentions really are.

Maybe because --

First, terrorists aleady know how to make bombs.

Second, those aircraft were brought down with $1.99 boxcutters available at your local True Value hardware store, not bombs.

[Vidalia]

Thanks

[larry h]

But.....young upper middle class, impressionable college students, with a decidedly leftward lean.....may not know
how to make bombs..... so why on earth sponser a web site to teach them how? Even amatuer terrorist can kill!

"Make sure that you will not injure anyone that you do not intend to injure."

Wow, that's damning.

[Ford Fairlane]

Gee, I own most of those books that the web site says are "illegal".

I bought some of them in high school.

[Sawdring]

What about your over 40 right leaning militia type who decry the methods used at Waco and Presidents hip deep in Chinese money?

[marktwain]

Is this real? What happened to freedom of the press? There is no law against owning a "firearm that is not registered to you" unless it is a machine gun, sawed off rifle , or shotgun, and even that is questionable under the 2nd amendment.

I am always amazed by how many people are willing to give away everyone's freedom so quickly.

Touretzky's site includes links to purchase copies of such books as Home Workshop Explosives, Improvised Munitions Black Book, Silent Death (book on chemical and biological weapons manufacture & distribution), and the Anarchist Cookbook.

My understanding is that most of the instructions in the Anarchist Cookbook if followed will result in death of the would-be anarchist. I don't have a problem with that.

Bomb making instructions have been public for a long time. Whether they're on the Internet or not makes little difference. I have a much greater problem with government-funded abortion which guarantees the death of an innocent.
