"These guys are domestic terrorists, plain and simple, including the ones who are doing their propaganda and communications work, even if they don't themselves do the hacking."
That's right, and that guy who cut me off on the Turnpike this morning - he's a terrorist too. They were making a bunch of noise moving things around next door to where I work today. Bunch of terrorists. I missed a long light which made me late to work today. Whoever put that light there is a terrorist.
Or maybe we should confine use of that word to those who would slaughter innocents by the thousands with guns, explosives, and airplanes used as missiles, rather than cheapen it down to the point of using it to describe anything we don't like.

"Online hackers can and do contribute to terrorism."
If they somehow manage to access the coolant controls at a nuclear power plant? Yes.
But I'm not about to agree that running black sheets of paper through a fax machine is the same as blowing up a bus or a shopping mall.

I do hope Homeland Security, the NYPD, the FBI, etc. have been given this information. Not that they don't have it already .. but I'd send it just to be sure. And .. I'd add in the Secret Service.
These websites need to be shut down. This action is endangering people's lives .. there are other ways to protest than to endanger someone else.
If there is an emergency and some person in the convention dies of a heart attack .. these people will consider their attack worked. But .. these are the people of "peace" .. please don't insult my intelligence.

A vote for Bush is a vote for a divided, unstable, paranoid America. -- Bruce Springsteen Looks like the unstable paranoids, with the intent to divide, are working on the web as well as the concert hall.

I guess you think corrupting, military,Gov, Corp, as well as sites like FR, computers is just good clean fun. Interesting how they are all busy coordinating their TERRORIST ATTACKS at the same time. Al Quaeda, Fascist TAHRAAZA's Storm Troopers, the evil Dums. Nothing to worry about though.

You guess incorrectly - hacking web servers is a criminal act and should be punished as such. Web servers are not critical infrastructure.
"Interesting how they are all busy coordinating their TERRORIST ATTACKS at the same time."
While amusing, this statement merely reiterates the same opinion I've said I don't agree with - these are criminal acts; not terrorist acts. Blowing up buildings and buses and flying airplanes into buildings are good examples of terrorist acts. Your broad brush of what constitutes terrorism would extend to include anything which has the potential to inconvenience you. Again, in my opinion, that just cheapens the sacrifices of all those who've died fighting real terrorists.
"Al Quaeda, Fascist TAHRAAZA's Storm Troopers, the evil Dums."
That's a list of things, none of which have much to do with a bunch of kids trying to tie up phones, websites, and fax machines.

This call out is issued by the CrimethInc Black Hat Hacker's Bloc. We are not participating in any of the actions or any illegal activities ourselves Well, that just about sums it up for me. All talk, no action-just what I'd expect from these losers.

I filled-out the FBI Tips Email form at 2:30pm, and someone mistakenly sent me the URL for IFCC - internet fraud complaints. Post #47.
I re-sent the thread with a further explanation, and an FBI Agent just called to apologize for that, and said that they've received hundreds of complaints and tips about that site, and they're on it.
He said thanks for your vigilance, and for that of your FRiends at FR.com, from all of us.

Don't be surprised if we aren't targeted for special treatment here at Freerepublic...No doubt. Hopefully whomever hosts/manages these sites will deploy a sniffer to capture the traffic. Each offender should have his/her traffic session, including all context, captured and used against him/her in a court of law.
Telling isn't it, that not only did we not disrupt their site, but many of us visited and thoughtfully considered their perspective. As telling as them wanting to silence any speech that presents an opposing point of view...While we, (like fools), listen to their point of view. It would seem that these purported intellectual giants are remarkably closed minded.

We won't stand idly by while the Republican Party exploits the democratic city of New York to further their agenda of endless war, attacks on our freedoms and and breaks for corporations. Like Serbia/Kosovo, Waco and Enron.

I have to disagree here, if they can disrupt enough business's you have lost a lot of manhours trying to get things back to normal, not mention lost revenue. Do this to enough companies and you hvae major headaches.

"Do this to enough companies and you hvae major headaches."
A headache, yes. Dead bodies? No. What they're generally advocating is the wasting of time and resources (toner, etc). While this is wrong, and while this is criminal, it's just not on par with what Osama bin Laden does.
