The website that has hosted the release of information from al-Qaeda terrorist Abu Musab Zarqawi's group Tawhid and Jihad, has been hacked. The website was the release point for information on demands, deadlines and executions of such hostages as
Eugene Armstrong ,
Jack Hensley and
Kenneth Bigley.
A hacking group calling itself TeAmZ USA hacked the website and left an image (see below) that said "Host them and your[sic] next." apparently referring to any hosting company that hosts the website in the future.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. There have been websites hacked in the past for terrorist groups and I have always been on the fence on the issue. On the one hand it messes with the terrorists, making their life more difficult and possibly exposing the individuals when they attempt to set up a site elsewhere. On the other hand our intelligence agencies are more than likely monitoring these websites and may be gleaning information, physical or data wise, from the sites themselves in hopes of tracking down the terrorists. To me it's a double-edged sword and I'm not sure what side I take when it comes to taking them out.
Thanks to In The Bullpen for the tip.
Also being covered at Backcountry Conservative
The website was hacked once before on August 22nd and was covered extensively by My Pet Jawa
Well maybe it's time they realize that they're not completely safe either. I hope these Hackers continue to harrass them.
Face it, these barbarians will do what they do AS LONG AS THEY CAN. Hopefully, if these guys are good enough to hack the site, they're smart enough to pass the info to the proper authorities to help hunt these bastards down and kill them. ( I certainly hope they don't bother capturing them)

The numbers at the bottom are HEX which spell in ASCII an anti-Republican slogan (I was hoping these guys would be on 'our' site).

It'd be nice to find a terrorist website where one can post a comment. I mean I've heard from our military in the field that 80% of the guys they catch in Iraq are faggots. I'd like to ask them why? Is in genetic? is Allah playing a joke on them?
This would just be for starters.
