Al Manar, Hezbollah's TV station, was one of Israel's first targets. While the station was hit, it seemed to be on the air as of this morning. Either the attack was not as succesful as hoped, or al Manar was transmitting from a backup location.
Hopefully, Israel has fully integrated cyber-attacks into its battle plan. From the looks of it, they have.

I generally refer to the group as Hizb'Allah (i.e., "The Party of Allah") in order to remind Muslims and non-Muslims what the group is all about.
I can't speak to why the MSM consistently refers to them as "Hezbollah".

I prefer Hizbutthole'a or Hizballza myself.
Hellzbellza isn't bad either.

For these filthy subhuman slave-trading pedophilic waste-of-oxygen waste-of-food terrorist brutes we Iranian Patriots have a name that subsumes all of them; I mean the whole bloody lot from Al-qaeda to Ahmadinezhad to Al-Zarqawi Hizbullah etc. etc.
The word is TAAZI (all three vowels are long vowels).
This word also includes their political supporters and their pinko-commie apologists. I have a special disdain for this last category.

Rusty maybe we should pass along out hackers info to them? It would be nice if while they are at it they could do us a wee favor.

Capital idea Howie!
Wouldn't your own American counter-terrorism outfits also be interested in information on these cyber-attackers?
I mean looking at the big picture, Turkey is a NATO member (God help us all) and at least some Turks have a vested interest in weeding out the Islamist terrorists in their country.
So, if your authorities are informed, hopefully they would in turn inform their counter-parts in Turkey.
Does this make sense?

Could the counter-parts in Turkey be trusted?
