You know, I don't know if I'm missing something here with this story or what, but the article over at The Daily Times here is all about how islamic jihadists are being coaxed and encouraged to put up video after video of Western forces coming under attack by jihadists. So, my question to the Daily Times is (well, actually it is a Reuters article, figures)...where have you been the last year? The article makes a big deal about how there have been instructions posted on how to post on YouTube as seen here:
My point is that YouTube, currently, is INUNDATED with jihadist videos! Don't believe me? Go to YouTube and in the search box, just put in "insurgents iraq" and then, sort by "Date" and you will see that 90% of the videos put up in the past 3 months are all jihadists videos purporting to show U.S. and coalition forces hit by IED's, mortar attacks and snipings. Take it from me, someone who, having posted hundreds of "war porn" videos on this site, has lived on YouTube and LiveLeak ....well, I know what I'm talking about.
The ridiculous part of the YouTube scenario is that now the jihadists are using an even more sinister trick to their YouTube postings - they figured out that the majority of people weren't really interested in seeing an IED attack on a U.S. tank from 5 years ago that completely missed the tank so now the jihadists are putting the videos up under false titles, such as "U.S. troops vaporize insurgents"....you click on that video and it will show a jihadist attack on coalition troops or some ancient footage of some propaganda.
The fact of the matter is that there are very few new videos on YouTube right now of current military operations in Iraq - it's that quiet there right now and believe me, if there aren't any new videos to put up of U.S. marines kicking al Qaeda in Iraq ass, there are NOT any new videos of al Qaeda bombing our troops.
Islamic extremists are being instructed on how to use the popular video-sharing site YouTube as a way to disseminate propaganda videos, a US-based terrorism monitor said on Tuesday.Militants are being encouraged to use the online site through postings on other Islamic forums on the Internet, SITE Intelligence Group reported. Last week, an extremist authored step-by-step instructions on posting videos to YouTube, which he described as “one of the most famous and biggest international sites that publish sections of videos from all over the world.”Extremists: The posting encourages readers to post scenes of Western forces coming under attack to which it says, “shame the Crusaders by publishing clips of videos showing their losses, which they hid for a long time.”Islamic extremists have long used the Internet as a tool to communicate with supporters and distribute propaganda but the latest posting specifically coaxes militants towards YouTube and touts it as a user-friendly tool. “I say that YouTube is one of the easiest sites to record and upload the clips,” the posting states, pointing readers to the software they might need to publish on the Internet.

Islamic extremists being coaxed toward YouTube
WASHINGTON: Islamic extremists are being instructed on how to use the popular video-sharing site YouTube as a way to disseminate propaganda videos, a US-based terrorism monitor said on Tuesday.Militants are being encouraged to use the online site through postings on other Islamic forums on the Internet, SITE Intelligence Group reported. Last week, an extremist authored step-by-step instructions on posting videos to YouTube, which he described as “one of the most famous and biggest international sites that publish sections of videos from all over the world.”Extremists: The posting encourages readers to post scenes of Western forces coming under attack to which it says, “shame the Crusaders by publishing clips of videos showing their losses, which they hid for a long time.”Islamic extremists have long used the Internet as a tool to communicate with supporters and distribute propaganda but the latest posting specifically coaxes militants towards YouTube and touts it as a user-friendly tool. “I say that YouTube is one of the easiest sites to record and upload the clips,” the posting states, pointing readers to the software they might need to publish on the Internet.“I ask you, by Allah, as soon as you read this subject, to start recording on YouTube, and to start cutting and uploading and posting clips on the jihadist, Islamic, and general forums,” the posting states.YouTube, a unit of Google Inc, could not immediately be reached for comment on how it might respond to the types of postings described in the message. The message author calls for a “YouTube Invasion” by militants and includes several screenshots showing step-by-step instructions on how to create a YouTube account and to upload material. The video-sharing site has often been a chosen venue for users to post controversial clips and other material. In March, Pakistani authorities ordered Internet service providers to block the website after it ran material deemed insulting to Islam.

Just a thought when a video is posted on youtube the servers IP from where it is posted is logged and can be traced. Nothing on the internet is truly anonymous.
