Mark Thompson (CNN) reports that the internet hackster collective, Anonymous, has decided to add Islamist terrorists to its list of those liable for its rather unique brand of punishment. Most recently the group announced its targeting of those responsible for the shabby, unjust behavior/decisions at Ferguson and on Staten Island. Anonymous now says it has "declared war" over the murders at Charlie Hebdo and that its target is "Islamic extremists". It vows to avenge the attacks. 

     "In a video posted on YouTube, the...hackers said they would track down websites and social media networks linked to terrorists, and take them down. 

     "'We, Anonymous around the world, have decided to declare war on you the terrorists," it said.'" The video targets, specifically, ISIS, Al Qaeda, "and other terrorists".

     They go on: "We intend to take revenge in their name, we are going to survey your activities on the net, we are going to shut down your accounts on all social networks." 

     Some weeks back, when Anonymous took the decision to go after the people responsible for Ferguson and Staten Island, I wrote I'd lend my tech skills (had I any) to such a project. I'd do the same for this one were I able.

     These people need to be taken out, out of the game, and while drones and Seals may be able to do it over time, what Anonymous promises will likely visit on these groups genuine havoc without the necessity to go lethal. Again I lend my voice and writing to their efforts.
