Not very cleverly disguised, sort of hard to deny that implication....extraordinary, send them to confinement or the gallows!
Could they be THAT obvious? An ENGLISH file name? I would have expected Arabic. Weirder and weirder this gets.
One threat involved making the White House black, or something along that order.
The assassination attempt on a prez supposedly thought by so many worldwide to be a numbskull would sem to be a silly goal if it were widely believed, but Iraq is the one place that would have a desire to take him out whether or not they thought he was capable. Saddam Hussein would want to take him out as 'an eye for an eye' sort of thing.
Now if the men had a file that said something about harming homosexuals it would be a hate crime... but someone has a "kill the president" file and they don't get charged...? go figure.
Lets see, on my HDD I have
bikini.exe
California.exe
StressRelief.exe
9Coronas.exe
frog_blender.exe
fly.exe
gerbil.exe
joefish.exe
lemmings.exe
I guarantee you, that most people would think frog_blender.exe is in poor taste and quite sick, some people think its funny. I think the most likely explanation for the killpresidentbush.exe file is that is of similiar nature. And of course, for obvious reasons, it would only be distributed among a very select crowd. I'd refrain for jumping to conclusions, in that possession and distribution of such a file in and of itself would not make one a terrorist per se. Furthermore, any of the executables that I have, could be named anything I want.
Of course since I don't know what the file in question does, this is all pure speculation; not much different from what you all are doing I might add.
