Al Qaeda and the Internet: The Danger of “Cyberplanning”

[illbill]

<snip>We can say with some certainty, al Qaeda loves the Internet. When the latter first appeared, it was hailed as an integrator of cultures and a medium for businesses, consumers, and governments to communicate with one another. It appeared to offer unparalleled opportunities for the creation of a “global village.” Today the Internet still offers that promise, but it also has proven in some respects to be a digital menace. Its use by al Qaeda is only one example.<snip>

2. "...but it also has proven in some respects to be a digital menace."

"In other news, the mouth has proven in some respects to be a verbal menace."

What a load of unmitigated BS.

3. I'll bet the terrorists use cell phones too.

And I've heard they use cars and modern weapons.
It's almost like they have human intelligence.
(Unlike this guy.)

4. I think we should ban cell phones

And xerox machines. I read somewhere that they can be used to plan crimes.
