EOM and Daleel post are not the site owners where they post. My hope is that the Feds are on to *them*.

Thanks, Velveeta. I really hope that the info bantered back & forth on this thread is helpful to "powers that be" and that we aren't being jerked around in an Internet game of "Clue" ("EOM with WMD on a plane flown by Colonel Mustard.") Last night, I thought back to a post I made and wondered if I had gone off the deep end...guess I'm looking for a quick & easy payoff to a problem that's gonna' be here for quite a while.

It's quite trivial to track them down. Many people have the skills and tools to do it. I believe they've already been ID'd.

I'm always reminded of the Dan Pearl kidnappers sending emails to U.S. news organizations using a Hotmail account. Hotmail embeds the source IP of the sender in every email. IIRC several of the perps were nabbed less than a week after Pearl's disappearance.

It was never reported, but I'm almost certain those emails pointed right back to the Internet cafe in Karachi, which was put under surveillance, the owners questioned, browser caches examined, and then they waited for them them to return. Busted.

BTW, I don't think their PGP emails are immune to being cracked by a serious entity with serious compute cycles. They make think so, but this is the caliber of jihadi we're dealing with.
