Ever notice how the weak minded, in being unable to face an issue, will ignore the issue completely and find something lame to comment upon, such as citing the bias of the source, regardless of whether a source they do trust posts the exact same story.

Curious.

Makes you think folks like Dogface are unable to do much beyond bleat like the sheep in Animal Farm:

Right wing go-o-o-o-o-od, left wing ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-ad.

I found this interesting as well. A private intelligence agency? What is that? Anyone know of an example? How long have they been around? I really don't remember ever hearing that phrase before.

The SITE Institute is a group that monitors terrorist activity on the web. I guess the term private intelligence company would apply here, I had never thought of them in that way. I always thought of it more like the groups that send someone to a chat room to pose as a minor as bait for online pedophiles, or keep tabs on questionable websites. Just the impression I got when I saw their site.

IMO, it's a good thing that private groups are taking an active role in monitoring terror propaganda on the web. SITE's website has a lot of information on terror groups and terror activity on the web.

OBL does not exist, because you have no proof. Isn't this proven?

...Natalie Holloway...Madaline McCann....don't exist...prove it..

MOAB:

"The [blast] kill mechanism against living targets is unique--and unpleasant.... What kills is the pressure wave, and more importantly, the subsequent rarefaction [vacuum], which ruptures the lungs.… If the fuel deflagrates but does not detonate, victims will be severely burned and will probably also inhale the burning fuel. Since the most common FAE fuels, ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, are highly toxic, undetonated FAE should prove as lethal to personnel caught within the cloud as most chemical agents.
"The effect of an FAE explosion within confined spaces is immense," said a CIA study of the weapons. "Those near the ignition point are obliterated. "


You tell ME where Osama is...


I thought this was an interestin alalysis of the "leak"....lost communication is exactly that...

"I'm no expert in this area, but I can't immagine it will be easy to bring this network back online. I'm thinking here of the complexity of establishing secure military communications, only with a lot of wrinkles involved that military networks don't have to deal with. How do you distribute new COMSEC? How do you communicate the new websites to the people who need to use them? Either people need to surf the web and find them somehow (in which case our bots can do the same thing a lot faster)and some people will never find the sites they need to find and therefore be isolated from the network), or you have to communicate this information via other means to your members. If the information is being communicated then one of a couple of things must occur : either it is carried by sneakernet which is very secure but very slow and inherently limited (which seems to be the only way I can immagine it would be done-AQ's inner circle physically tell those they trust, who tell those they trust, who tell those they trust, and so on... very slow) or it has to be either transmitted to individuals (which we will possibly intercept and if so probably identify who it is being sent to thus fingering AQ accomplices) or broadcast freely which we will in definitely intercept. Figure into this that you know you were compromised before, so when you arrange to come back online you will have to be careful lest you let the enemy (us) back in. Being careful means you might cut people out of the loop. Cutting people out of the loop reduces your effectiveness. As someone else said, I'm sure that watching this network rebuild itself will be informative as well. I can't help but also wonder, how does an AQ website find users and let them know it is genuinely an AQ website? Does this give our intelligence the opportunity to create fake websites in order to spread disinformation? Also the fact that all of AQ shuts down has to have a morale impact across the terrorist accomplice network. What if fake AQ sites start accusing genuine AQ sites of being fake sites? "
