A recent discussion here and elsewhere condemned the proposed cybersecurity bill co-sponsored by Snowe and Rockefeller.
The fear was control of private internet space and loss of freedom.
Well, when you have headlines like this posted on MSNBC.com, it really strengthens their cause and their cry for further restrictions.
Extremist Web sites are using U.S. hosts
Ease, anonymity draw anti-American groups, including Taliban, al-Qaeda
Domains are mentioned towards the end as a point to illustrate how quickly a site taken down can re-emerge using a different domain name.
The irony here is the bill proposed would grant tighter security yet at the same time how not to interfere with gathering intelligence by permitting the site to stay live.
Be sure not to glance over the Mumbai massacre and how the Pakistani authorities are pissed off at the Americans.
