But yes, im aware you can easily find this kind of stuff.
I don't believe a terrorist bomb is much different than a 'good guy' bomb...

Walking it back:

"However, it has since become clear that BurstNet shut down the Blogetery of its own accord after finding material that violated its policies.
"Upon review, BurstNet determined that the posted material, in addition to potentially inciting dangerous activities, specifically violated the BurstNet Acceptable Use Policy," the company wrote in a statement."

The knowledge is the same,intent is what matters.

Unless EVERY venue online that espouses terroristic views is shut down this seems rather silly.

Perhaps. However, asking for info is not the same as asking for the server(s) to be shut down.

Would the web host have the info?

And what of the other 70,000+ blogs there?

Seems a little weird....but then when confronted by the FBI I imagine people freak out.

Oz this is a dead horse. The facts don't fit your conjecture, your speculation is without basis, so what's left?

Well that turned out to be pure bunk (https://www.burst.net/news/blogetry.shtml - broken link). Neither the Obama administration nor the Federal Government shut down ANYTHING. I assume you'll stop relying on these sources for accurate info and admit this post is utter nonsense.
