A few days ago security officers manning the Allenby Bridge between Israel and Jordan apprehended a Palestinian woman carrying a memory card with Hizbullah information stored on it.Now before some of you say "why didn't they use the net", here are a few reasons:
The woman planned to transfer the chip, which held information on how to assemble weapons, to her son in the Samaria area. The chip was confiscated and the woman was taken in for questioning.
Security establishment officials said the incident is part of an extensive effort by terror groups to relay information into the West Bank.
In October 2005 three Qassam rocket makers, members of the Popular Resistance Committees, were apprehended as they were making their way from Gaza top Jenin to pass on knowledge on the establishment of a rocket-manufacturing operation in the West Bank. The cell members were carrying a “disk on key” with instructional material from Hizbullah on how to prepare explosives and bombs.
On Friday Hamas' spokesman in Gaza, Sami Abu Zuhri, was caught in the Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza with a large quantity of money he attempted to smuggle into Gaza.
According to one report, Abu Zuhri, who is one of the senior leaders of Hamas in Gaza, had Euro 640,000 on his person. Another report claimed he held a larger sum of Euro 900,000 Euro.
The money was discovered by European monitors on the border and confiscated by Palestinian security officials. The cash was hidden in a special belt worn by Abu Zuhri, and while trying to cross the border, the belt fell, and the money was uncovered by the monitors.

1)The site could easily be taken down.
2)The providers of the info may not have wanted to be associated with it by hosting it on their homepage.
3)Downloading the data might have brought suspicion on the user, possibly from organisations that moniter traffic for certain key words.
4)The data could be sent from mobile to mobile, just as easily as via the standard methods using a computer.
And I'm sure there may be plenty of other reasons. The Important thing is, this shows that the checkpoints do work and help dilute the terror threat and in this case the spread of terror related material.

Are there any others besides me who feel that the die has already been cast, and the moment of the opening is the only question?
I observe that all these things indicate the enemy, and in the end there is one single enemy, now believes that with the proper, maximium, and smart effort they actually can win, and have decided to committ themselves to this maximum effort believing the cost is worth the goal
I think there is going to be a very costly mid east war, nothing like we have seen before, that we here, in the USA ARE going to get hurt, and that the cost to arabs and muslims will give pause the world for centuries.
I just can't see any other end for all this.
