A search
for 'iraqi news' using Yahoo!'s search engine yields,
as it's fourth web match choice, "IraqNet", which
was labeled a "cool" site by terrorists working inside
the popular portal. Homeland Security Chief Tom Ridge has called
for this "internet worm of evil" to be shut down. |
Al Qaida
Sleeper Cell Uncovered in Sunnyvale
Iraqi
News Site Categorized As "Cool" By Yahoo! Employee
Called "Credible Threat"
2/7/03 - Hundreds of Department of Justice officials joined
recently-realigned INS agents in an early-morning raid yesterday
of Yahoo!'s offices in Sunnyvale, California. Based on evidence
culled out of the now defunct Operation
TIPS federal talebearing system, it was determined that the
website was "not only linked to enemy combatants that supported
terrorism, but heralded the evildoers as 'cool'."
"The source
of much anti-Americanism was proven to be spreading from this popular
portal, and I order the Justice Department to shut this internet
worm of evil down." continued a jurisdictionally confused and
overwhelmed head of the Homeland Security Department / namesake
of the international airport in appropriately named "Erie".
Stocks of Yahoo! plunged 98% on news of the raid, and an investigation
into the
increased activity in "put options" on Yahoo! stock
in the days before the raid had already begun as of this morning
. In a random telephone poll, when respondents were asked about
their disapproval for the sudden abandonment of the investigation,
an alarming 85% said "Hey, will you shut up? American Idol
is on!"
"Iraq is
not 'cool', and treason is not 'cool'," stated an irate John
Ashcroft, star of a new series of commercials aimed at teaching
the evils of treason to teen and pre-teen audiences. The six-part
"You're-Cool-When-You-Think-America-Is-Cool" campaign,
a slogan (and Justice Department) some advocates are calling "forced",
features the Attorney General rapping to a new hip-hop remix of
his breakout hit "Let The Eagle Soar" while illustrating
examples of proper patriotism and the benefits of conformity.
"They will
be persecuted ... PROSecuted, er, I mean, in a court of law ...
MARTIAL law, uh ... in, a military tribunal, where they will be
brought to, justice, for good," said Bush, speaking behind
a short stack of boxes containing intercontinental missiles that
had their 'Made in USA' labels taped over and replaced with 'Made
for Iraq'." The
international community has made every effort to show that they
are available for comment.
