Terrorists Move to Cyberspace

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.'"

    Before the US declares war on the Internet?

    Think I'm kidding? I thought my dad was kidding when he said "Iraq is next" after we went into Pakistan.

    Not enough that the Republicans terrorize both the free and nonfree world, but now Dubyah's gonna terrorize his ISP too. :)

    Ring around the collar is a problem.

    Finding a really good dishwasher detergent is a problem.

    Terrorism is not a problem. It's a tool that governments use to popularize their oppressive tactics. "We need these strict new laws to Fight Terrorism!"

    How many people died in car crashes?

    How many people died from getting attacked by wild animals?

    I say again: Terrorism is not a problem. And I've got the sack to put my name on my assertion.

    It sure would be nice if we could end terrorism. (Oh, I'm sorry, I'm supposed to say "violent extremism" now...) I think it would be even nicer if we could make sure that our national pension plan wasn't going to end up in the shitter. I'd also like a reasonable stab at a good healthcare plan that doesn't ass-rape you when you are out of work for a couple months.

    Terrorism is not a problem. It is a puppet show.

    I only said Big Bro would disappear the website.

    Please stop using "disappear" like that. "Disappear" should always appear after the subject it describes, never before it.
