Kudos to these internet terrorist hunters!!!
Do you folks know them?

7 sleuths helped snare spy suspect
Internet skills were key to catching the Lynnwood man.


Brent Astley bristles at the suggestion that his organization is an amateur group of terrorist hunters.

True, they aren't paid. But they know their way around a computer and thousands of Web sites around the world that could leave cyber clues about national security threats, he said.

"I think our abilities are anything but amateur," Astley said. "Among the seven of us, there's quite a variety of positions and academic backgrounds."

The seven are members of a loose-knit worldwide group associated with 7-Seas Global Intelligence, a private organization of volunteers who probe Web sites for information about the next bombing or assassination attempt.

A deliberately shadowy group, most people haven't heard of 7-Seas. More know it by the fruits of its labors.

It was a 7-Seas associate in Montana who last fall set the bait for National Guard Spec. Ryan Anderson of Lynnwood. The guardsman faces a general court-martial for allegedly trying to defect and turn over military secrets to the al-Qaida terrorist network. The military announced Wednesday that it would not seek the death penalty against Anderson. (snip)
