From my friend Nena Wiley:
{I cannot post the entire must read article due to rules here regarding lawsuit} But this sums up what we do the best way;
From a Virtual Shadow, Messages of Terror
SAN FRANCISCO -- He calls himself Abu Maysara al Iraqi, or father of Maysara the Iraqi, and he's a master at being everywhere and nowhere in the virtual world, constantly switching his online accounts and taking advantage of new technologies to issue his communiqués to the world.
American Internet sleuths know next to nothing about him, whether Abu Maysara is his real name, whether he's an Iraqi or even whether he's in Iraq. What is clear is that he is one of the most important sources of information from the country's insurgency, getting his message out through the Internet, and U.S. authorities are trying to silence him.

Money Printed by Terrorist Organizations Gain Support
November 8, 2001 Posted: 2:10 a.m. EST (710 GMT)
(CNN2) An astounding new development in the war against terrorism surfaced today, in the form of new american currency.
A large number of counterfeit five and ten dollar bills have entered circulation recently, bearing the profile of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in the place traditionally held by a US president. When asked to remark on the development at a press conference today, secretary of state Colin Powell replied "This is a true mark of the effectiveness of [President] Bush's strategy in the War on Terrorism. Having effectively disabled the terrorists' financial assests, he has forced them to printing their own, counterfeit, money, in order to continue to fund their evil deeds."
Rita Jenkins, a supermarket cashier in Duncan, Ohio seemed to be unphased by the new currency. "I never noticed the fake money, until one of my customers mentioned it this afternoon. I just figured it was some more of those new bills that they keep coming out with recently. Frankly, I find the differences between bin Laden's face, and that Lincoln guy to be pretty minor."
Five hundred and thirty dollars of the false currency was found in her register alone.
President Bush seemed puzzled as to what his action should be, in light of this new development. "Well, on one hand, the money is wrong, immoral, and illegal," the president told reporters. "However, it should be recognized that this influx of cash into the american economy, along with my continued refunds and aid packages, could be just the stimulus that we need to get us out of this recession. You have to admit, those terrorists sure are spending a lot of money."
So far, as much as $230,000 of the counterfeit money has been recovered. At least a third of that amount has reportedly been used to purchase doses of the drug Cipro.
In related news, Italian news agencies reported that the government had frozen bank accounts linked to seven people in Washington, including former president George W. Bush Sr., claiming "irrefutable" links to past funding of the organizations connected with the Taleban government. The individuals involved were unavailable for comment.
