Subject: Who they're spying on
In all the fuss about the NSA spying issue, it's sometimes forgotten
that
there are real bad guys out there, who badly need to be spied on.
Here's a
story that makes the point, from today's London Times.

British computer whiz-kid exports
terror via internet
By Daniel McGrory
An e-mail trail has led to the arrest
of suspects across the world who were
recruited and then schooled in
bombmaking
AN INTERNET trail left by a British
computer expert has led investigators
to an intricate terror network
spreading from the backstreets of
Baghdad through cells of young
militants living in European capitals
to Islamic extremists plotting
car-bomb attacks in North America.
For nine months police and
intelligence agents in eight countries
have patiently worked through a forest
of e-mails and intercepted telephone
calls that have so far led to the
arrest of up to 30 men.
Most of these suspects have never met.
They had no need. They were recruited,
groomed by skilled propagandists and
schooled in bombmaking via the
internet.
A senior security source told The
Times that there is a far greater
number of terror networks operating in
Britain than had been thought, all
using the internet to plot attacks
here and abroad.
