Al-Qaeda Web Sites Go Offline

Posted by kdawson on from the i-hack-you dept.

thefickler writes "Four out of the five Al-Qaeda online forums have disappeared. The terrorist group used these forums to relay messages to its supporters. The four that have gone missing seem to have taken a hit back on September 10, the day before the annual video marking the 9/11 attacks was due to be disseminated. No one knows who is responsible for the sites' disappearance."

    Wow, it's LIKE an article. It's just missing any news.

    "No one knows" -- Uh, yeah someone knows. The Washington post doesn't know.

    Ergo "The Washington Post" == "No one"

    It also looks like they've hired high school editors. "The sites' disappearance" is incorrect. Sites don't own anything. Proper phrasing: "The disappearance of the sites". Of course that's not correct in Internet parlance. A real Editor would write "The inability to reach the content of the sites..."

    The Washington Post is to a real newspaper like real people who don't give bailouts are to our elected "representatives".
