RADICAL British Jihadist groups are using Facebook and other social networking sites to recruit members and distribute extremist literature.

But it looks as if they have already recruited the Democrat Leadership in the US House as they will not allow their telephone calls to be monitored so we can defend out Nation.

Were they recruited over the Internet or the under-net.
