... but before you do, consider that a call to hack the Al Jazeera site carried on these forums last week (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/874161/posts)means that FR could be opening a whole can'o'worms if it does.

You mean http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/874161/posts.

It's a foreign based web site, servers outside of the jurisdiction of the USA. So does hacking it, DDOSsing it, whatever, come under US "computer crime" law? I am not suggesting anything, just curious.

It does appear that FR is diligent about not letting itself be used in this way. I am a regular reader here and I don't recall seeing any such thing, and whatever you linked to is gone now.

Al Jazeera is a foreign site spewing anti-American propaganda. It is a legitimate target.

Where as I would have no idea of how to attack such a site, I applaud those that choose to serve their country and take the fight to the enemy through such means.

It wouldn't break my heart if Indymedia and their ilk were targets as well, but I do respect their right to free espression - up until they break the law. They are bordering on conspiracy to commit a crime by giving detailed info. about how to do DDOS attacks to any leftist script kiddie with a grudge. I'm sure the FBI will be knocking on their door shortly.
