Well for what’ my opinion is worth; it appears to me to be a news blackout that is in effect from the Terrorists.

News blackouts usually precede bad things, so being the eternal skeptic I suggest this is a preliminary move as part of an impending attack.

To support this view, I would say they white hat hackers have been very successful in penetrating and disrupting video’s on symbolic anniversaries, the Terrorists are totally out of their sphere or expertise (assuming they have one!) it would make sense that the Terrorists would prefer media saturation after the event and not have hassle of being be blocked out of their own media outlets.

I envisage this is a temporary news blackout as ideologically warped terrorists continually need to get the message out.

Nothing would make me happier to be wrong!

That’s a question I’ve been asking myself, too. While I’m not exactly an expert on web technology, even I know that it usually doesn’t take that long to get a website back online.

But why would they do it shortly before 9/11 when there’s an eagerly awaited UBL video to post?
