Posted by Zonk on from the that's-not-so-good dept.

Dreamwalkerofyore writes "The Washington Post has an article on how Al Quaeda is now using the 'net for its new HQ. From the article: 'With laptops and DVDs, in secret hideouts and at neighborhood Internet cafes, young code-writing jihadists have sought to replicate the training, communication, planning and preaching facilities they lost in Afghanistan with countless new locations on the Internet.'"

    Maybe they could start by hiring back the many competent translators they used to have but dumped because they were gay or lesbian?
