Counter-Cyber Jihad: It's the New Black

Counter-cyber jihad in the Weekly Standard. It seems that we have finally gone mainstream. You'll note that the article identifies one potential problem: that if an American webhost drops a site because of TOS violation, that site might pop up on a foreign server. And there may be some intel value in having those websites hosted in the U.S.

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more.

I would caution, however, that the intel value of these websites are sometimes overstated. Most of these websites are used only to dish out propaganda, and there are simply far too many consumers of this propaganda and far too little in the way of resources to keep tabs on those consumers.

Aaron has a little reminder about striking the proper balance. HT: NC
