Presence of Logo on YouTube Videos Demonstrates Authenticity of Al-Qaeda Videos… to Joe Lieberman

May 20th, 2008

The logo guarantees that the content was produced by al-Qaeda, does it?

There you have it, Joe. Report to Camp X-Ray for rendering.

While it’s unclear to me how that idiot manages to dress himself in the morning, he’s trying to have content banned on the Internet?! Good luck with that, Joe. Keep your dribble bib clean.

Today, Islamist terrorist organizations rely extensively on the Internet to attract supporters and advance their cause. The framework for much of this Internet campaign is described in a bipartisan staff report released last week by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs (“Committee”), which I am privileged to chair, titled Violent Islamist Extremism, the Internet, and the Homegrown Terrorist Threat. The report explains, in part, how al-Qaeda created and manages a multi-tiered online media operation that produces content intended to enlist followers in countries all over the world, including the United States. Central to this media campaign is the branding of content with an icon or logo to guarantee authenticity that the content was produced by al-Qaeda or allied organizations like al-Qaeda in Iraq, Ansar al-Islam (a.k.a Ansar al-Sunnah) or al-Qaeda in the Land of the Islamic Maghreb. All of these groups have been designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) by the Department of State.

Searches on YouTube return dozens of videos branded with an icon or logo identifying the videos as the work of one of these Islamist terrorist organizations. A great majority of these videos document horrific attacks on American soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan. Others provide weapons training, speeches by al-Qaeda leadership, and general material intended to radicalize potential recruits.

In other words, Islamist terrorist organizations use YouTube to disseminate their propaganda, enlist followers, and provide weapons training – activities that are all essential to terrorist activity. According to testimony received by our Committee, the online content produced by al-Qaeda and other Islamist terrorist organizations can play a significant role in the process of radicalization, the end point of which is the planning and execution of a terrorist attack. YouTube also, unwittingly, permits Islamist terrorist groups to maintain an active, pervasive, and amplified voice, despite military setbacks or successful operations by the law enforcement and intelligence communities.

    I think I ejected a kidney laughing at the comments about him not being able to dress himself and that “world’s oldest baby” expression on his face.

    Yeah, but on a more serious note, how is this guy left to walk the streets, spout his rubbish and and be a US senator, when he’s plainly working for a foreign power?
    I know most American politicians are in the pay of AIPAC, but Lieberman is in a different league, and doesn’t even try to hide it.
    He’s like the senator for Tel Aviv, just hanging out in Hartford sometimes.

    Another fine production from the CIA’s very own Hollywood film studio, IntelCenter Pictures. Look for this summer’s blockbuster, “Senator AssHat vs. Bin Laden”, starring Pee Wee Herman as Joe Lieberman!

    And this is the guy who corrected McCain, when McCain said that Iran was in league with AlQaeda.

    I.E., McCain is dumber than Lieberman….

    Strangely enough, Cryptogon is taking absolutely ages to load every page this morning. All other sites popping up fine, so it’s not my computer.
    Maybe Lieberman is on to you….

  6. eyelight says:

    Even scarier thing about Lieberman, is that he’s now being tipped as a potential running mate for old and somewhat senile McCain.
    A real Manchurian Candidate.

    I bet if H. Clinton somehow scuppers Obama, then Lieberman would be on her shortlist too. They both serve the same masters.
