The Most Dangerous Game
Are you a hunter or the hunted?
It's another two-fer this week at TCSDaily. My latest article examines the "virtual levee en masse" of radical Muslims that is taking place on the internet, and wonders if it's not behind some of our more recent headlines. If so, then those of us that write about the war are much more directly involved than our journalistic and editorial brethren were in past conflicts and more involved than we might realize.
I submit that the only thing keeping us from getting at the other side in cyberspace is the language barrier. Well, I don't say that in the article, but it occurs to me now.

I've always seen the world broken into three groups... Prey, Predator, and Protector

What I keep wondering is why the DOD isn't using hackers to do a DoS on those Arab web sites?
Just before reading your post I read another article about young Muslims in Britan and France and those born in this country. Their families came for a better life and with the opporunities a free country offers it also demands they fight to protect it. But will Muslim youths do this if asked?
Don't bet on it.

I found your article extremely interesting and it pointed out some things that my friends and I have been discussing for a long time, since 9/11 and even before. I'm glad to see others are recognizing this persistent problem as well.
I'll continue my response on my blog (http://themissal.blogspot.com/2006/10/shadows-on-moonless-midnight.html), citing your article because I'd like to discuss this more in depth. But I agree with the thrust of your article.
