Project seeks to track terror Web posts

At Univ of Arizona, "The Dark Web project aims to scour Web sites, forums and chat rooms to find the Internet's most prolific and influential jihadists and learn how they reel in adherents.

Lab director Hsinchun Chen hopes Dark Web will crimp what he calls "al-Qaida University on the Web," the mass of Web sites where potential terrorists learn their trade, from making explosives to planning attacks. Experts said they are not aware of any comparable effort, though some said the project may have only limited applications." more at [href]"Yahoo"[url]http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071111/ap_on_hi_te/dark_web;_ylt=Ag9H_IrfHRhz5S5Q_a_Hro9U.3QA[/url][/href]

You’re probably thinking of the work of Rusty Shackleford at http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/190073.php . He and the readers have tracked down and “outed” countless “web jihadis” and gotten many of there sites axed. There’s lots of other stuff going on over there but the anti jihad work is the main reason many people visit.

Yep, throw in Al Jizzera, and that pretty much made up my boycott list as well. These guys in Phoenix have taken it up a notch...check the link at the end of the article. I hesitate to put it here, my href’s aren’t yet all they’re cracked up to be...
