I'd like to provide some fine blog wisdom:
- kill the terrorists
- get the Jihadi websites offline
- stop allowing citizens of terror-sponsoring countries into the West without background checks
- get tough with those terror-sponsoring countries, make them more afraid of us than of the terrorists in their midst
- don't let terrorist states develop nuclear weapons
I'm sure our readers can provide more suggestions.
Update: My post was kind of obtuse. Let me try again.
10% of blogs say go kill the terrorists
10% of blogs say bring our atrocity-committing, minority over-representative, baby killing soldiers home (or to Okinawa)
10% say, "look at my cute kitty!"
70% of blogs say, "I was just watching Ally Macbeal and I think she has cute dimples. Does anyone else think going to the dentist is scary?"
I don't see where the Air Force is going to find "actionable intelligence" in blogs. With the exception of Yon and Roggio, political blogs analyze existing news stories. We don't generate intelligence leads.

Unless this is disinfo and they've been doing it all along. They must have tons of gen-Xer script kiddies in the corps, if not true blue blackhats. This should be old school by now.

And tracing the owners, location, and networking of Jihadi websites, can also give you some clues as to their real world location. After all, if someone kidnapped an American and you knew it was in this and this city by this and this group, and then this website suddenly has a video of the soldier being executed... obviously you can start connecting the dots.
If you then interrogate some jihadi and he talks about the website and the "contact", you can actually find the real life owner of the website.
Datamining by Special Forces guys, is pretty efficient. I don't know what the Air Force is using for the task however.
