Hi Lady Jag

Please read my post 20 and 30 regarding this issue.

‘He is attacked by his own country men’ — he is a prophet who dares to speak the truth. They killed the prophets, don’t forget. You get popularity or integrity, but not usually both.

[varina davis]

Not amusing.

[Huck]

lol

[SE Mom]

This has worried me from the minute I heard about it.

[mojo114]

I am confident that you have cleared this with your contacts.

Until we dramatically, quickly and forcefully take away the oil weapon from Islam and Chavez and make clear that Sharia Law a la 600 and something and vestigial Marxism do not work even with oil money, we will not win, and we don’t mean going on and on with this baloney mantra about running our cars on windmills and using up all our land and water to produce ethanol with no net energy gain. We need to have leaders who will reject boondoggling for what it is an actually allow innovation within the oil and auto industries despite oligopolistic resistance to such things as more and better fuel, refining and production.

Possibly they are monitoring them for security information? Maybe even know who is saying what and where they are?

My guess. Plus they can trace the posters. It's a risk either way, maybe better they are out in the open like that, find one, find a nest of their fellow jihadis.

[seoul62]

The question I pose is: would they dare act on their threats??????/Just Asking - seoul62.......

[ilgipper]

DU is busy again, huh?

[nuconvert]

They’d better hope Pres. Bush stays safe.
They don’t want Cheney taking over. (though I wouldn’t mind ;~ ) )

[nuconvert]

ha ha
That was my first thought

"Most of us would feel the same if it were to be directed back when Clinton was President. Did we approve of him? No, but he was still the CIC!! And was our sitting President. We respected the office even if not the man."

If anything happened to Clinton, it would have been considered an act of war, and Gore would be perfectly justified in nuking any country that did it. And 99% of us at FR would support it. On the other hand, DU would be celebrating if something happened to Bush.

[Stonewall Jackson]

Old "Buckshot" Cheney would probably go over there himself and introduce them to a whole new level of pain.

Even if the government get one or two or a dozens of them still as long as these terrorist websites/forums are up much more terrorists are recruited than captured and these websites/forums are serving as a virtual training camps to teach them how to build bombs, all type of explosives, and other terrorist violent acts. It takes months if not years to get a particular terrorist online but in the meanwhile the terrorist websites and forums are doing what they are meant to do as I described above. Please see my post # 30 concerning this issue.

Thank you, jveritas, for reporting on this.

If the forum is hosted on a state-side server owned/operated by a US firm, they can and should be shut down for this. It's clearly over the line.

OTOH, if it's somewhere off-shore, there's not a hell of a lot we can do about it from a legal point of view.

But on a purely practical level, where are the conservative hackers who can take it down regardless of the legalities?? Surely we've got some guys who have the chops to hack into that forum and bring it to its knees. Guerrilla warfare capability is not limited to the enemy, ya know...

I'm not advocating anybody break any US laws. Just asking...

[jveritas]

99.999% they will not act but it only takes one terrorist to do it and create a disaster beyond belief.

[dayglored]

> ...it only takes one terrorist to do it and create a disaster beyond belief.

True.

And yet it would put their own cause back immeasurably, too.

First, VP Cheney would take over, and he'd be p!ssed, which would not be in their interests.

Second, in an election year, it would create a huge feeling in favor of the President, and ensure the election of whomever promised vengeance on the perps. Heck, I imagine that if Cheney could be persuaded to run for another term he would sweep the country in November. But Fred could also do as well by taking the reins and riding hard.

Bingo.

Who the hell announced this trip in the first place?

[Aliska]

Honestly I see your point and read your #30 before after I posted. Maybe the FBI or HS is running the site or allowing it to stay up? They can then track their hits as well as the posts.

Not that I'm an advocate for terrorist free speech; it's even worse than sedition, but I worry about other sites getting shut down if certain people have their way. We get some of our best info on the web now.

I'm tired after watching the debates and shouldn't even be writing, please excuse.
