Hi,

Attached to the end of this message are email addresses of 
some of the 9/11 hijackers, people who are alleged to be 
associated with Al Qaeda, and contact email addresses for 
alleged jihadist Web sites.  These are the type of email 
addresses that I suspect the NSA is looking for when it is 
monitoring email traffic on the Internet in order to "connect 
the dots".

Richard, I fail to see why the Government would watch for e-mail
addresses of dead people, I am really. I would only assume from the very
limit activity that I had seens that we would change e-mail addresses so
fast it is stupid to have static searching list.

Have you ever looked at the "jihad" video sites that release videos to
the internet? They pack this vids on free anon file-sharing locations,
edu servers and hacked japanese servers. A lot of information is traded
on forums, etc...so scanning e-mails may only get part of the
information you need.

As you can tell from your list, most are free e-mail accounts. Why would
they not use them once or twice and then change? Seems like a security
risk to stay on the same one for too long....just my 2 cents anyways.
Maybe I am wrong...who knows.

-Todd
