American internet link to Ken Bigley torture videos
by SHARON CHURCHER, Mail on Sunday 11:44am 17th October 2004
Terror: Hostage Ken Bigley blindfolded in Iraq
The brutal videos of British hostage Ken Bigley begging for his life were distributed on the internet by a radical Islamic website hosted by an American firm with ties to the Bush administration. The Mail on Sunday began investigating the site, hostinganime, after it showed images of Mr Bigley being held in a cage, shortly before he was decapitated by the Al Qaeda cell known as Tahid wal Jihad.
The site posted links to footage in which the terrorists were seen hacking off the heads of four other hostages, including the two Americans, Eugene Armstrong and Jack Hensley, kidnapped with Mr Bigley.
We traced hostinganime to the computer servers of Everyone's Internet, a Houston-based firm that boasts it is the "world's largest dedicated hosting company", providing space to one million websites. The company's chief financial officer, Roy Alvin Marsh III, 45, is a flamboyant Texan whose influential friends include President Bush's Secretary of the Navy, Gordon England, Sharon Bush, the President's former sister-in-law, and her daughter, fashion model Lauren Bush. The firm's chief executive is his 44-yearold brother, Robert Marsh.
According to independent internet experts, the firm's clients include hostinganime. "I did an electronic trace and discovered that it is being hosted by Everyone's Internet," says Jeremy Reynalds, a British-born campaigner against internet hate peddlers.
Similar conclusions were reached by Web Sheriff, an internet policing company based in London. Investigators say the site has been used as a propaganda, recruitment and fund-raising tool by several Middle-Eastern terror networks.
American law allows websites to be registered under phony names at post office boxes. Thus hostinganime uses a Los Angeles address that is a mail drop. It is registered through NameCheap, a company owned by Richard Kirkendall, a 29-year-old Texan. He could not be located by The Mail on Sunday.
We also were unable to obtain a comment from Everyone's Internet.
However, an internet expert who advises the US Government on terrorism said the site will enable them eventually to find the terrorists.
US Customs deputy special agent for Houston, Robert Rutt, said last night: "There's going to be no comment on this whatsoever."

Is the Daily Mail trying to say that Bush is somehow responsable for the terror videos being hosted by EV1 in Houston?

What a CROCK!! A shameless attempt to make a link that is non-existent.
There is no limit as to how low the liberals will go.
They're so low they need umbrellas so the ants won't pee on them.

Webhosting is an anonymous, automated business as is the purchasing of Internet names. There is no complicity here except the morons chose one webhosting company instead of another.

The Daily Mail a leftist newspaper? Er... I don't think so. It's one of Britain's most staunchly conservative papers and has been for decades. Try doing a little fact-checking first.
To: JohnathanRGalt
So, bottom line, they want to add their bloody voices to the pressure of Congresscritters in America to remove all privacy on the Internet for Americans?

"I did an electronic trace and discovered that it is being hosted by Everyone's Internet," says Jeremy Reynalds, a British-born campaigner against internet hate peddlers. So now this is internet hate peddling? It's perfectly okay for every news outlet to air over and over the images from Abu Ghraib, the images of civilian casualties in Iraq and Gaza, ... but it's not okay for websites to show what the terrorists are doing to civilians?
I'm one of those Americans who thinks everyone should see these videos - even if it is only one of them. So they know WHO and WHAT our enemy is. Evil.
