If is called freedom of opinion. "Azzam.com" is a provider of Non- official pentagon spoken news about Afganistan. Donald Rumsfield may smile nicely, but that can't compare to the photos on that website showing the great benefits of "Targeted" bombings. Alittle figure of thounsands of innocents the Pentagon or Large American transnational Media does'nt want to show.
A site with pictures of dead or innocent childern victims of a unjust, blooding, Imperialistic war catering to the American taste for vengeful sadistic Blood spilling.

I've say this on occasion. Any resistence to American Imperistic ventures resulting in death of some American civilians is called terrorism, But U.S fighter killing Civilians in villages is not even mentioned. I love the two-sideness.

I don't think Hamas should be on any American internet provider's servers though.

It's a "terrorist" web site by WHOSE standards? Yours?

Apparently, Freedom of Speech is beyond some people but the fact remains there are offensive websites, and if they offend - use your typing skills to go to another!

Web hoster's cannot "police" the users. Sure, they may have their policies but that's what make's them stand apart from others.

Stop the presses: Now FBI agents can go online without running the risk of being thrown out of the bureau, or worse.

The Justice Department last week announced that guidelines dating from the 1960s and '70s have been discarded, so that agents in the field targeting terrorists can go where the public goes, including searching the Internet, even if there is no evidence of a specific crime. The earlier rules are relics of an era when the focus was on perfecting law enforcement techniques. Today's challenge is to stop terrorists in time.

These rules help explain a strange experience for those of us at Dow Jones. Top FBI agents, including antiterror experts, kept in close contact during the kidnapping and murder of our colleague Danny Pearl. Time and again, the agents were surprised by how quickly we were able to bring them news reported from wire services and newspapers in Pakistan and other background information, courtesy of the Internet-based information service Factiva (a joint venture between Dow Jones and Reuters).

We were equally surprised to learn that the FBI's extraordinarily professional, highly trained agents were not given access to the kinds of online research services now common on the desks of cub reporters or junior salespeople, with Factiva's products alone on some 1.5 million desktops world- wide. The old policy intentionally kept the FBI from information easily available to the civilians they protect.

...

The FBI has redefined its chief mission as preventing further attacks, not building appeals-proof legal briefs after the fact to show who committed a particular crime. This means a new focus on gathering and analyzing information before the fact, not when it's too late. Developing the ability to look around corners, of course, is what broad access to information and the modern tools to analyze data are all about. At the moment, agents cannot even send e-mails from their antiquated office desktop computers.

"It would have been very nice if at some point in time I could put into our computer system a request for anything relating to flight schools, for instance, and have every report in the last 10 years that had been done that mentions flight schools or flight training or the like be kicked out," FBI Director Robert Mueller said. "We do not have that capability now. We have to have that capability."

As the blindfolds are removed, today's FBI agents will quickly discover a world rich in information, from public chat rooms on the Web to commercially available databases that focus on financial records to other databases that provide details on dubious public figures around the world and their known associates. There are even data-mining techniques that can help agents find the most relevant facts.


They are still learning, it seems. Maybe, once they will be able to recieve e-mails, someone should send them a list of "terrorist" sites.

Agents pursue terrorists online

By Jack Kelley, USA TODAY

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — U.S. officials are searching the Internet for the reappearance of a Web site that they believe has been used by al-Qaeda to deliver messages, including possible instructions for its next attacks, to its operatives around the world. [...]
