SHUT DOWN?
U.S. intelligence agencies have the technology and ability to monitor activity on Web sites and will keep pro-terrorists sites up, said FBI spokesman Paul Bresson.
"We have shut down sites that further criminal activity," he said. "Often it is more beneficial for us to keep such sites up and running."
Mr. Bresson declined to comment on BurstNET or Web sites on its servers. However, he said Web sites being monitored are likely part of a current investigation.

"We can't freely roam Web sites," he said. "There must a predicate to our monitoring. We have to obtain a warrant, and it becomes part of something like an undercover investigation."
If federal officials were to order terrorism Web sites shut down, that wouldn't necessarily mean a terrorist network couldn't communicate on the Internet, said Christopher Carney, an associate professor of political science at Penn State's Worthington Scranton campus and a Navy intelligence officer advising the Department of Defense. Terrorists can communicate over any Web site, not just terrorist ones.

"That's a false front," he said. "Terrorists can take their codes and encryption to any Web site -- all they have to do is agree on which one to use."
Dr. Carney doubts the intelligence agencies would bully a company to do something against its conscience.

"The government can't force them, but no one wants to not cooperate with the government when asked to help in an effort like this," Mr. Carney said. "I would hope the war on terror hasn't come to our government coercing citizens and businesses."
BurstNET, in the meantime, is in a difficult position. The company claims to be cooperating with government officials yet participates in disseminating information contrary company officials' own conscience while leaving its network vulnerable to enraged pro-American hackers.

"It's not that we don't want to talk about it," Mr. Brozena said. "We can't."
