How the hell do ANYONE know Al Qaeda is online ANYWHERE!
Why is NO ONE tracking them and BUSTING THEM!

And the rightwing dildos go on and on about how to even THINK of saying ANYTHING bad about DUHbya and co. is “aiding the terra-ists”, when they run ALL THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT, is just completely ASININE. You slime are COMPLETELY IN CHARGE and you haven’t done CRAP. Bin Laden: STILL ON THE LOOSE. This is NOT my America!

[...] About 2 days back think progress posted a link to an article involving revelations that Al Queda members have been using myspace, yahoo mail, and various other online sites to post information.Â They create an email or a message and save it as a draft without sending it, meaning the file never leaves the original server, and cannot legally be intercepted or read by anyone, not even the site that owns the servers.Â Now, this isn’t exactly a rocket science discovery, everyone knows the internet provides a wonderful place to hide for just about any sort of deviant/weirdo/bastard/monster etc.Â but the details make this not just a cute method of moving data around, it is somethign that is logistically impossible to get around.Â Even if it were legal to violate the privacy agreement you sign when you join one of these sites, the user base is so large they could never reasonably make their way through all the legitimate users.Â Then, even if they did get through that, they’d have to discern what the code-speech used by the Al Queda cell actually means.Â This means they can communicate without really worrying about being picked up (and gosh they first found out about this sort of thing awhile ago…i guess that the wiretaps werent getting the real juicy stuff if this was going on.Â Really, this concerns me on two levels, 1. Al Queda is getting information into our borders completely unassailed.Â 2. This means the government might try and crack down on privacy on ther internet.Â The whole story is linked here: http://thinkprogress.org/2006/03/10/al-qaeda-embraces-myspacecom/ [...]

I wonder if it’s no accident that Murdoch/AKA Mr. Fox/Faux News owns MySpace and it’s a favorite of Al Queda. I always thought it was a little convenient the timing of the Bin Laden tape before the last election. Well considering that Al Queda began as a Republican/CIA organization, we shouldn’t be surprised.

Hasnâ€™t anyone else noticed the large amount of negative myspace stories in the news lately, first about pedophiles and now al-qaeda? The idea is to get people to accept govâ€™t control over the internet.

Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!!!!
A couple of years ago in Phoenix, they outlawed anonymous use of library computers by scaring everyone into thinking that pedophiles were using public library computers to look at porn and lure children.
Pure dreck and not one conviction of anyone to back it up. Not only that, but librarians quoted in the print media were saying that the problem was overblown..
Good thing those librarians never got on TV.
It’s all about control of the internets, people.

The internet is the last place of free speech and uncensored news. I would expect our government to be eyeing ways to stop this, and creating the perception that Al Qwacka has infiltrated the web, is a good way to censor and controll it.

The fact that the “9/11 truth” group on myspace has over 10,000 members is probably quite frightening to them.

And the “president bush is an asshole” group has over 130,000 members!

Pretty soon it will be totally regulated.

I suggest that we all start a myspace (and freindster, and any others we can think of) page, and every day, just go in and post gibberish wth the word jihad prominently featured! I will be willing to bet that the spy resources are not up to keeping up with a few dedicated posters wasting their time.
What the hell, we probably are all undersurvelliance anyway for being here in TP, we may as well put our tax dollars to waste!

On the other hand I could just imagine the bio’s of some of the Al Queada sleepers:

I am 23 years old. I luv Black Eye Peas, hangin’ with my homies and KILLING ALL THE INFIDELLLS!!! Where my 72 virgins at sucka?

I love that this one has generated humor! Too often we are so serious.

I can see the threat level go up when the “investigators” start looking at the pictures and reading the suggestive bio’s of some of the lil hotties over there. Oh my God!! Code Blue Balls! Code Blue Balls! Take a look at this one & crank the Security Code to RED HOT BABY!!!

you might want to drop it out of overdrive, there, gerald. 100x encryption is probably not much safer than 99x or 33x. plenty of more prosaic options are available: like single-use ciphers and blind drops. the point is that terrorist infiltration of myspace is no more a cause for alarm than terrorist infiltration of anything else. it’s bound to happen in thousands of unstoppable, unmonitorable ways. you said it yourself: we should change their desire to do harm. i think we should do it by showing them how much better life can be when free-thinking people agree to tolerate each other’s differences.

Indeed. I have built my own encrypted systems. I can totally protect my conversations from being monitored. I can encrypt a message over and over and over with several different encryption methods all stacked… I can go so far as reencrypting my message with over 100 different encryption methods. Even if you cracked one layer you would still have dozens more encryptions to get passed… I am not even a security expert. Any script kiddie out there could figure out how to do it. And how many NSA systems are setup to decrypt a message that is encrypted over 100 different ways all at once? Even if they built one that doesnt stop someone from throwing even more layers of different kinds in… It is like outlawing guns… only the lawful people will not have guns… the criminals will continue to find a way…so only stupid criminals or innocent people are being spied on.

Yet there are plenty of human beings around that can understand the idea of not destroying ourselves. If only there was a button somewhere that said “Jesus Mode” that we could press that would force everyone to suddenly feel that putting others first is the only way to live ones life. All the worlds problems could disappear with a simple change of thought. No special science. No neat little gizmos need to be invented. No amount of money would be needed. Just a “I change my mind” globally and everything would be different… Yet humanity continues on in complete self destruction for no apparent reason. So much of our past has been destroyed by this ignorance. The library of Alexandria is a perfect example. Between the romans and the christians most of humanities knowledge gathered throughout ancient times was simply burnt. If reason was embraced universally there is absolutely NO problem we could not overcome. Science has proven this. Humanity through reason can engineer any existance we want. If another ice age comes would COULD push back the ice and build huge green houses to grow food… instead (if history repeats itself) we will kill each other and destroy much of what humanity has built in the past 200 years and revert back the religious nuts murderering their way to enslavement of the people.

I agree lets get rid on all Nuclear Bombs, or maybe 10 per side, enough to hold of an alien invader at least (*?), have world police force made up of everynation to check each others countries for weapons, and spend all the money on Liberal values

I nstead we spend enough in one year on Nuclear weapons to educate,feed and house the entire world for 5 years

we are a dumb planet
