Al-Qaeda Online - Am I the only one offended?

[HotJaidyn]

We have always thought that America was SAFE and UNTOUCHABLE, boy were we wrong.

We have to do what ever we can to protect are selves. If we bend a rule it’s self preservation.

[preacherman481]

I with TotalChaos on this one. Of course we do have liberties. Everyone has a right to be on the Internet under normal circumstances. But we're at war with Al-Quaeda and the other terrorists. If we can shut down their communications we ought to do. It might save the lives of more of our military personnel and innocent civilians.

Well, FrequentZ, most of us can understand your frustration, and even some of us may confuse 1st Ammendment Rights of free speech and assembly with the imaginary "right" to incite riot, conspire with others to commit mass murder in our country, and other assorted lowlife activities while using our Constitutional guarantees to destroy our nation and use any means to murder and destroy. I guess some people can think long enough to believe those activities are protected under the constitution, or should be tolerated by our Republic. Be that all as it may, it probably wouldn't be totally to our advantage to whack their access to the iNet, although that comes closer to a reality with every one of them that gets sent to meet their 72 virgins (... or was that "Virginians" ?). Kind of like that thirty-five foot long sneaky-snake slithering around in the bush or sleeping in the trees; if he moves or sticks his head up once in awhile and you see where he is, then he can't get you so easy. It's when you can't see him for awhile that you start getting a bit antsy, catch yourself looking all around more often, and thinking more seriously about the meaning of life. The only thing we have to do in reading their words, is try to separate the wheat from the chaff, or the truth from the white noise, or disinformation as they say in certain circles. I'm confident that we have some very clever techs working the Net, and if I'm wrong about that, then shame on us! If I were to take a wild guess, I'd think it would be better to keep your enemy in sight. Seem to recall that being one of Sun Tzu's Rules of War, the use of spies to conserve your fighting assets. ...'Course, he's been gone for somewhere around 2,500 years... maybe he was as mistaken, who knows. Hang in there and do your job the best you can!

Shoot me if I'm mistaken, but isn't that what Al-Quada is fighting for int he first place - no music, free speech, women rights, and computers - yet they seem to be using them at their will...


...Funny ain't it how terrorists always seem to be bloody hypocrites.

if you were from afghanastan... you would be offended by U.S. gov't websites. it is all relative. no matter what site you make, someone will be offended. i think what it comes down to is whether or not you feel someone is right or wrong, you have to decide whether or not you believe human beings deserve rights. if you feel they do then you can not limit who gets those rights. whether you like it or not. you may be offended by it. but i am sure that you have offended people, and people may think you are wrong... but you are not silence, and niether should anyone else be

OoOoOooOoOoO the AL-QUEDA IS REGROUPING!! O MY GOD!! The first time around they were super powerful so this time they have the potential of taking over the world!! O wait... the al-queda is a buncha cow-worshipping-dirt-eating-hair-growing-crap who runs away from the all powerful UN. Even if they could regroup then what could they possibly do? Blow up another building? Anyone in the world could blow up a building so it doesnt make sense to worry about this one group. Sides regrouping on the internet may just **** them eventually. Why can Kevin Mitnick a security genious get traced to his house but we cant find sum damn donkey-rapers using a internet/libraries computers? Granted they're not leaving little clues on different remote systems but I very much doubt that a simple intercepted email message couldnt give anyone an idea to at least the region theyre in if not the exact computer. the taliban...bah

My point was that of course something needs to be done, but the tricky part is to do it without going overboard and turning into a police-state.

[Tedob1]

they have the right to be on the internet and we have the right to hunt them down and kill them.

tonight they lit a bunch of lights that are supposed to represent the WTF. i was not really impressed. what would impress me very much would be the perimeter of world trade plaza bordered by the heads of the the leaders of these scum bags on stakes. may they die a slow and painful death.

[TotalChaos(D~Sq]

the basic idea is that in order to stop this sort of thing, you would have to trample a lot of people's rights of privacy and free speech. That, and it's not in America, and the US needs to learn when to not bully other countries as much as it has in the past.

First of all the people we want to block from the Internet are not Americans so we would not be trampling on American’s Rights or Liberties. If I remember right it was in America, The terrorist came to our Country went to our flight schools to learn to fly our airplanes into our buildings. Some of the terrorist were living here in America and they were communicating with other Al Qaeda members in Afghanistan on the Internet via web pages, emails and message boards. Why should we give our Rights and Liberties to people who want to destroy our Country and who HATE what we stand for. We are not bulling these terrorists we are at WAR with them. Look what happened to Daniel Pearl, who was sympathetic to the cause and wanted to give them a chance to tell their side of things. He lived and died by the First Amendment

i wanna find some unknown Al-Qaeda web communications ...That would be fun to track down and then report.
