Cyber terror war pardigm shift

While most will agree it is almost impossible to penetrate a terrorist cell.

There has been much progress in the war against terrorism on the web.

First there has been the closing of over 1,000 terrorist web sites.

And the disapperance of around 50 terrorist webmasters.

And the Terrorist have signaled defeat on Youtube.

Thanks to "YOUTUBE SMACKDOWN".
And over 140 jahiddies dumped from Facebook in one day.

The info war capacity of the terrorist has been very diminished.

They do however continue to use the dark, secret side of the WWW

for command and control.

And al Qaeda and Taliban webmasters have joined forces to try and

take up the slack.

We continue to hunt terrorist webmasters and hackers and burn them.

German cell:

Taliban webmasters:

We have turned a corner on the use of the WWW by terrorist.

By the combined efforts of civilian cyber warriors, US Intel, and the Military

working in concert.

NSA warrantless American self surveillance

* Spy Agency Announces New Social Network Site
NSA warrantless American self surveillance
Move over Facebook and MySpace -- the NSA is now in the social
networking business.

This week, the NSA announced SpySpace.com -- a social networking site
developed by the NSA itself. SpySpace.com will allow ordinary Americans
to instantly share their private data with the government -- eliminating
the NSA's reliance on cumbersome requirements such as warrants.

SpySpace.com allows users to upload personal data about who their
friends are, what sites they visit, what books and newspapers they are
reading, and where they live directly into a massive database controlled
by the NSA. Messages sent though the site will be automatically copied
-- without warrants -- to a secure room controlled by the NSA.
Third party apps make it easy to tag your friends as "suspicious" or
"unpatriotic."

Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell hailed the site's
potential. "Since Congress has so far failed to protect telecoms against
lawsuits, wholesale domestic spying is more difficult than ever.
SpySpace will give our agents the access they need to protect Americans
in their homes -- all legally, and all without warrants or other
restrictions."

SpySpace apologist Richard Esguerra expressed enthusiasm for the new
site. "I think it's neat. I'm not doing anything wrong, so I don't have
anything to hide. And if I can save the government the few seconds it
takes to get a warrant, I'm helping my country fight evildoers."

The use of social networking sites has exploded in recent years, with
millions of people making private information public by uploading data
about their social networks, consumption habits, and travel patterns.
