Is the Internet a Haven for Terrorists?

Is that Bin Laden hiding in my memory chip? Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff has gone on record to say that the Internet could be breeding terrorists. Of course, he doesn’t have any evidence of this. He just says:

“They can train themselves over the Internet. They never have to necessarily go to the training camp or speak with anybody else and that diffusion of a combination of hatred and technical skills in things like bomb-making is a dangerous combination,” Chertoff said. “Those are the kind of terrorists that we may not be able to detect with spies and satellites.”

By radicalize, does he mean that folks will be moved by the logic of liberal blogs and vote Democratic?

The Republicans are out to destroy your commons.
