The Taliban takes Jawa Report's "Interference" Seriously; Good.
Let the games begin: As Rusty Shackleford continues to shut down Taliban sites in cyberspace almost as fast as they can put them up warfare. They have responded with a bit of chest thumping and bluster.
I must say this sounds like great fun, and it definitely does some good. If an aspiring jihadist can't log in to their favorite site, they can't as easily share information without being detected and identified. As Dr. Shackleford proves here.
So here is my proposal to Dr. Shackleford: if the steps to accomplish this sort of thing are relatively straightforward, and the good Doctor is willing to share his methods with me and others, I would be happy to lend a hand AND to spread the word to trusted patriotic sources. All it would require is some well written step-by-step instructions. But we would want to keep them relatively under wraps so the mass murderers to be don't figure out better ways around this sort of thing.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding how we citizens can mobilize to help this effort, and it may not be as simple as I think it is. But hell, if we can blogswarm militia of "gopher hole thumpers" why not? Count me in.
