"Rita Katz and S.I.T.E.: How two people can find out more than the CIA and FBI Combined."
"This was originally published by Greg Bacon on 10-9-07.
I'm republishing it with this addendum in light of the news report from Algeria yesterday citing "SITE" as the source that confirmed that "Al Qaeda" took responsibility for the blasts.
It looks like these jokers have their finger(prints) on the pulse of just about every terrorist act out there. There must be an exclusive line of communication between them and Al-CIA-eda.
Algerian Interior Minister Yazid Zerhouni told reporters the attacks today were carried out by the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, which allied itself to Osama bin Laden and took the name al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb earlier this year. The group threatened the UN on its Web site in April.The group claimed responsibility for the bombings in a statement published on an Islamist Web site, according to SITE, a U.S.-based organization that monitors terrorist messages.
One other thing worth noting -
Today's attacks were the worst terrorist incidents in Algeria, Africa's largest natural-gas producer, since Islamist massacres in the 1990s.

The United States spends upwards of $50 BILLION DOLLARS per year investigating and spying on various "evil-doers" that supposedly mean us harm.
To help in this search, agencies like the CIA, the FBI and the NSA employ tens of thousands of people, working nonstop, 24/7, 365 days per year.
Yet, with all this money, sophisticated equipment and personnel, we led to believe that it was the S.I.T.E., group, with a total of TWO people, Katz and Devon, who time and again are able to infiltrate various "terrorists" networks and abscond with some of their deepest, darkest secrets?
From Yahoo News:
The SITE Intelligence Group said it lost access that it had covertly acquired to Al-Qaeda's communications network when the administration of President George W. Bush let out that the company had obtained a bin Laden video early last month ahead of its official release, the Washington Post said.
"Techniques that took years to develop are now ineffective and worthless," SITE founder Rita Katz told the newspaper.
SITE monitors websites and public communications linked to radical Islamist groups and organizations deemed terrorist by US authorities and provides the information to clients, including news media companies.
It got hold of the bin Laden video before its release and provided it for free to the White House on the morning of September 7 but insisted that the video's existence remain secret until it spotted the official release, in order to protect its own work.
P.S. The S.I.T.E. web page has some boffo looking pictures from "terrorist" web pages, but curiously enough, no links to those sinister pages.
Hmmm, guess Rita and Devon are just protecting their resources.
Yeah, that must be it, Huh?
Here's the link to S.I.T.E.
