The Egyptian Muslim guy in California who went to LAX and shot up the place a white back was addicted to these types of hate programs which he watched on his satellite TV (according to his immigrant neighbor).

One of the best things our government can do in our fight against terrorism, and something we citizens have no ability to do, is keep these types of TV stations from being viewed/aired. I'm not saying it will stop the really bad guys who conspire together, but the everyday Joe's, of which this California guy probably was, will not have the daily brainwashing of hate to knock them over the edge.

Something I do not understand: with all our technology, why don't we just shut these programs down wherever they are? Turn off the satellits if necessary, or whatever it takes.

"...we citizens have no ability to do, is keep these types of TV stations from being viewed/aired."

I completely agree with a ban on any commercial ventures with these groups, but I am not a fan of censorship. What you are suggesting would criminalize for example all the tv stations that showed any of the OBL statements (you know you watched at least one). There are legitimate reasons for people to watch these programs, if for nothing else, to know what is really going on in a sick mind. In short, not a door I want to see opened.
