What a perverse degrading use of the word avatar, the significance of which is fully described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar

Don't believe any of this Bin Laden nonsence.Read Kurt Haskell and his wife's eye witness account of flight 253.

How did Farouk get on board a plane without a passport? Where is the Indian man that was able to get Farouk to a higher authority to board the plane without a passport?

Why was the Indian baggage handler sacked when he questioned the fact that Farouk's luggage was in question, but was allowed to be put on board anyway.

Well, yeah, and...

Wouldn't say it's "new". The use of YouTube exploded - 'cuse the pun - since 2002, but isn't that OBVIOUSLY going to happen?. The moment a piece of tech or ability appears people of ALL SORTS of agenda try to figure out a way of making it benefit them.

Lot's of finger pointing about 'here's a fire' but no idea about how to put it out?. You can't, without it adversely affecting the rest of us.

When I was young and silly and smoking some pot we used to talk about buying "vegetables" on the phone. If you REALLY wanna see terrorism recruiting going on I wouldn't google "Jihadi Recruiting Are Us", I'd be looking at websites about 'flowers', or 'fishing', or whatever. They are near to impossible to find.

Obviously there needs to be some sort of 'beacon' floating on the surface of the net, but under that beacon you'll sifting your way through a set up that resembles something the "Hive" off of Resident Evil - 'cuse the pun again.

...and Ho Hum, the article is about the IN-TER-NET, not Hinduism. There IS a difference. Trust me. Seriously, lighten up.
