Feds consider searches of terrorism blogs
The Homeland Security Department may soon start scouring the Internet to find blogs and message boards that terrorists use to plan attacks in the USA. Feds,Patriot Act,Terrorism,Peak Oil
The effort comes as researchers are seeing terrorists increasingly use the Internet to plan bombings, recruit members and spread propaganda. “Blogging and message boards have played a substantial role in allowing communication among those who would do the United States harm,” the department said in a recent notice.
Homeland Security officials are looking for companies to search the Internet for postings “in near to real-time which precede” an attack, particularly a bombing. Bombings are “of great concern” because terrorists can easily get materials and make an improvised-explosive device (IED), the department said.

First
I would be shocked and disappointed if they were not already doing this. What kind of intelligence would be ignoring the internet today. Secondly, any time it is stated that they are going to start doing something, they already have.

Because the government wants to watch online blogs and
message boards?
That's about as much of a search as reading the newspaper.
