Reply #37: They hacked internet sites like crazy in the early days of Iraq Invasion

[McCamy Taylor]

Kept some of them down completeley in order to keep all news that might negatively influence public opinion at home from getting on the internet. So they can do it. Problem is when there are lots of sites set up by people who are very sophisticated, especially when those sites are maintained by US citizens who are paying good money to American companies. Lots of toes to be stepped upon, lots of negative publicity to be generated. The last thing the feds want to do is to hack a site, get caught doing it and then have it turn out to be some WASP high school validictorian who is president of her class government club and heavy into global charity work.

I predict they will plant a Hinkley type over at the Freepers, plant some other "Freepers" to egg him on to some terrorist act for which he will be framed. The public will be outraged that "Hate Forums" are promoting terrorism, and the feds will use this to limit access and censor content of all political boards. Will go after a Right Wing site first so that no one will suspect that it is political.
