I am not so absolutely certain that we want to shut them all down. They are a simple and easy way to monitor who uses them a lot.

Read JV's original post linked at the start of this new post of his. He discusses that issue.

Since I have been monitoring these terrorist websites and forums for a while, I can tell you that it is extremely hard to get the terrorists who use them because most of them are expert in hiding their IP addresses and they teach each other how to hide their IP addresses. Moreover they use the "private mail" feature on these forums to communicate any sensitive information that it is important.

Making the enemy BLIND, DEAF, and MUTE exceeds any other benefit we can get if the enemy is still seeing, speaking, and hearing.

Also possible that some of them have been set up specifically for that purpose. It would be an excellent way for our law enforcement to ferret out terrorists, especially the independent wannabees who can be quite dangerous, but aren’t actually plugged into things like which websites are really run by the Islamoterrorist bigwigs.

That’s what I was thinking -what if our govt. wants to monitor these sites?
