Rita Katz, S.I.T.E., and Friend

I am posting this blogger's comments to give you the background and context to the story.

"
Yes, it does make one wonder how a staff of only TWO people, can penetrate password protected sites supposedly launched by the likes of aL-Qeada.

The U.S. alone spends upwards of 100 BILLION DOLLARS a year on intelligence gathering, with thousands and thousands of personnel working 24/7, 365 days a year, trying to get the info that Katz and S.I.T.E. seem to be able to just pluck out of thin air.

With all those intelligence assets working feverishly, trying to root out info from around the world, one would think that the American intelligence community would be the ones announcing the latest videos or announcements from the likes of Bin Laden, and not S.I.T.E.'s measly little staff of TWO people

Why, if one was a conspiracy theorist, one might think that Katz and S.I.T.E. are nothing more than MOSSAD assets, deployed to feed disinformation to not only the CIA, Pentagon and American MSM, but to the world at large.

That would be a logical inference, since Katz's father was executed by Saddam for being an Israeli spy. That would tend to make one seek revenge against all things Iraqi/Muslim.

But that's only conspiracy talk, right? To say that Katz and S.I.T.E. are nothing more than MOSSAD assets, working to fan the flames of Muslim hatred so the U.S. will continue to fight wars for Israel in Iraq and soon, the next war for Israel fought by Americans against Iran, must be the stuff of people wearing tinfoil hats, right?

Yes, that must be it: Only a paranoid conspiracy theorist would think Katz and S.I.T.E. are MOSSAD assets. Heck, it's just TWO people with a minimal amount of assets on hand that do a better job of ferreting out info than the ENTIRE US intelligence community."

You may now continue with today's Times propaganda, reader.

"What to Do About Pixels of Hate" by MICHAEL MOSS

ONE by one, starting a few weeks ago, 40 militant Islamist Web sites got knocked off the Internet. Gone were some of the world’s most active jihadi sites, with forums full of extremist chatter.

[Like these web-sites?]


This disappearance mystified American counterterrorism officials. They hadn’t shut them down, they knew, so who had?

Happily claiming credit for the jihadi blackout is a Christian-Lebanese engineer named Joseph G. Shahda, who is waging a private, and passionate, war on terrorism from his home near Boston."

[Yup, one guy is able to do what the entire government, working 24/7 can't do, huh?]

Public concern rose a notch last week when The New York Times reported that one of the most popular English-language sites was run by a 21-year-old Qaeda enthusiast named Samir Khan from his parents’ home in North Carolina.

[What a CONVENIENT FRONT-PAGE STORY by the lead Zionist War Daily!]


Mr. Shahda, who goes after the sites by identifying their Internet-service providers and sending those companies e-mail urging them take action, acknowledges that it’s a tough fight. He also said he worried that vigilante efforts were driving some jihadists deeper into cyberspace.

Most of the 40 sites he brought down eventually came back online by switching to new Internet providers.

[Where are they?
Texas and Maryland?]

While Mr. Shahda has prodded companies located as far away as Malaysia to cut their service to militant sites, his current target is closer to home. He said two influential militant sites have moved to an Internet provider based in Tampa, Fla.

[Oh, Florida, my bad!

Well then, WHY DOESN'T the government shut 'em down?

Telecoms gave them all the records.

They CAN'T NOT KNOW, readers?

Is it possible, readers, that IT IS the GOVERNMENT that is RUNNING the "TERRORIST"
web sites?

Nawww, that "could never happen here," right?
