What's an Internet?

Al-Manar, widely considered a mouthpiece for Hizballah and categorized as a terrorist group by the U.S., linked to the small cable company's IP (Internet Protocol) address, which can be thought of, in simple terms, as a telephone number. Hizballah essentially added an extension on that telephone line allowing their traffic to flow. Hizballah then gets the word out through e-mail and blogs that it can be found at that IP address and the hijack is complete. If the hijack is not detected, the IP address can be linked to a new domain name and that opens up the site to anyone who might search online for Al-Manar content. Hizballah uses these Web sites to run recruitment videos and post bank account numbers where supporters can donate funds.

It's a series of tubes.

And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

I don't know which quotation is more ignorant. But since I have to choose (I asked the question, after all) I'll go with Ted Stevens', because Time readers aren't supposed to be smart.

By the way: To our most loyal readers, the hijack is complete. Send money to Bank of America account #45424545433##three333#33. Just google "Al-Manar content" and you'll find the package. Love, Hezballah
