Researcher Says Social Networks Link Terrorists
An anonymous reader writes "At the International Conference on Cyber Security 2009 in New York, Evan Kohlmann, a senior investigator and private consultant for Global Terror Alert, claimed that a new breed of terrorists are using online forums to recruit people who align themselves with the mission of Al Qaeda, creating global networks of would-be terrorists."
You are giving people too much credit.
we hear about it time and time again in all different aspects of life.
Sure, there might be some smart ones who try to slip under the radar, but most just don't have the technical ability to manage a secure network let alone use technical security methods.
do terrorist organisations have their own helpdesk?
"Hello Dell support, how can I help?"
"I can't get my warhead armed."
"Have you tried turning it off and back on again?"

It was also announced at the International Conference of Asshats (Those with heads in ass) that today's terrorists may also link using 2 tin cans and a piece of string!
We don't need anything that drastic. We just need to ensure that people can't communicate with each other effectively. I suggest having everyone make up their own language.

Osama Bin Laden has sent you some anthrax using the super poke application. Would you like to reply?
Yeah, thanks to websites like Myspace, terrorist groups like "Fans of Panic at the Disco" have been able to organize and terrorize the rest of the web.

No need to make up one. We just need to find a language that the terrorists hate so much that they refuse to communicate in it. Obviously, their hatred of Americans isn't strong enough to make English that language. Who do they hate more than Americans? Jews! (And I say that as one.) Hebrew might be too obvious, so I propose that we all speak Yiddish from now on. Plus, Yiddish has the best curses. About Bin Laden: Ale tseyn zoln bay im aroysfaln, not eyner zol im blaybn oyf tsonveytung. And furthermore: Migulgl zol er vern in a henglayhter, by tog zol er hengen, un bay nakht zol er brenen.

And bananas, terrorists eat bananas too.
When his defense asked, "Which computer has Jon Johansen trespassed upon?" the answer was: "His own."
Well, duh. Look how well it worked for the Democrats.
Now we see the violence inherent in the system.
When will the internets finally be recognised as a series of medium-sized tubes ?

Allow me to translate this into a language us Americans can understand:

Terrorists have persistent habit of breathing in oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide.
Well we're trying to cure them of that habit. ;)

You know, all these terrorist organizations would have a lot more trouble communicating if we just stopped teaching children how to communicate.
Of course, this might make them behave in a more feral-like fashion, but it's a small price to pay to help fight terrorism.
Sleep your way to a whiter smile...date a dentist!
Use Pig Latin...you know how they hate that pork.
