One Man's Info War on al-Qaida

The domains, jehad.net and jehadonline.org, are now in the control of a manager for a large Minnesota financial services firm.

But some said the Minnesota man's actions, like those of other patriotic hackers, could hinder rather than help the U.S. government's war on terrorism.

"This guy might think he's being a hero, but in fact he's an idiot," said an official with DV2, the Atlanta ISP that hosts the sites. "The FBI has been closely watching these sites, and by taking the law into his own hands he may have screwed that up."
