What about this don’t they understand? Cut and dry to me. They should study the site as much as they can and then shut it down immediately.

Except that in nearly all cases, all the people attracted to it, sometimes even the actual computer and physical address can be easily determined. These sites act as honeypots, and if they are all closed down, the Government will have to run some themselves.

If H! gets elected, this very FR site will serve as a valuable source of people who need IRS Audits, for example.

They can do that in a day or two. Then shut it down. Besides, more will pop-up sooner or later.

I did not see many people disappear from these terrorist forums but I saw their membership increasing more and more. As I said the terrorists know that they are being monitored and they have a trick under the sun how to hide their IP or MAC address. They have whole section of the forums dedicted to what is called "Internet and Computer securities" and they always give their members tips on how to avoid detection on the internet.

The most infamous internet terrorist was called Irhabi 007 where the British and the US government spent over 2 years trying to track him on the internet. As the end he was captured not because they determined his house address from his IP address, they were not able to do so, but because they captured two other terrorist in Bosnia who happened to have his contact numbers.

We love to think that we have super spies and some incredible tools to catch terrorists but unfortunately it is not the case.
