Feds consider searches of terrorism blogs

The Homeland Security Department may soon start scouring the Internet to find blogs and message boards that terrorists use to plan attacks in the USA.

The effort comes as researchers are seeing terrorists increasingly use the Internet to plan bombings, recruit members and spread propaganda. “Blogging and message boards have played a substantial role in allowing communication among those who would do the United States harm,” the department said in a recent notice.

Homeland Security officials are looking for companies to search the Internet for postings “in near to real-time which precede” an attack, particularly a bombing. Bombings are “of great concern” because terrorists can easily get materials and make an improvised-explosive device (IED), the department said.

“There is a lot of IED information generated by terrorists everywhere — websites, forums, people telling you where to buy fertilizer and how to plant IEDs,” said Hsinchun Chen, director of the University of Arizona’s Artificial Intelligence Lab. Chen’s “Dark Web” research project has found 500,000,000 terrorist pages and postings, including tens of thousands that discuss IEDs.

Chen and others aren’t sure how helpful blogs and message boards will be in uncovering planned attacks.

I saw the government agent on Fox News on Christmas day announcing the “crackdown”on the internet…with Hannity..who was amazed that they weren’t already tracking the terrorists, anarchists and propagandists online.

fuck bush/cheney, hang bush/cheney, kill bush/cheney. i am not a terrorist like these 2 men. i believe in law, especially international law which was declared at the geneva conventions to ‘end all wars’ in 1948. my grandfathers and great grandfathers and my anchestors fought 2 world wars, as did many others from nations around the world, to end tyranny such as adolf hitler (bush/cheney) from ever returning. THIS FASCIST REGIME HAS BROKEN ALL 7 GENEVA CONVENTIONS AND COMMITTED MORE WAR CRIMES THAN ANYBODY SINCE ADOLF HITLER!!!!!!
considering most terrorism comes out of the white house, and is concealed by the pentagon, this makes federal agencies the largest and most powerful terrorist organisations on the face of the planet. Ironic that they are the ones who think they are searching for terrorists, when all they are doing is hunting down 911 truthers,successionist, independents, constitutionalists,restore the republic supporters, dissentors, leftists,muslims, and anybody whos opinion isnt in check with the governments bedtime stories.WOW, THIS SOUNDS ALOT LIKE ADOLF HITLERS REGIME, DONT YOU THINK? BEFORE HE STARTED SLAUGHTERING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. AMERICA 2001-2008 IS A MIRROR IMAGE OF GERMANY 1933-1938.(LEARN YOUR HISTORY).

So does that mean when they type in ” terrorist ” they get directed to the CIA, NSA, BATF, and the White House homepages? So much for interdepartmental accord. We might not have to have a revolution. We can just sit on the sidelines and watch their own rot catch up with them.

Now that we think life might be possible on Mars, I suggest we monitor terrorists blogs for potential Martian attacks. We could start a new agency, create jobs …

Eight years later and they are only just starting to check blogs out?

If for exapmle, on my blog I write desires for another 9/11 attack too happen, I’d be a real suspect on my way to Gitmo? I don’t have a blod, but that Jewish fellow Stu Bykofsky does, and does writes about the very same, yet, like Madoff, that other Jewish fellow, he’s only praised on FOX news for writting such crap.
