Zizka--True. However, the Wikipedia entry at least provides some evidence that I had confused the Haganah with the Irgun and Lehi, who (as it says) did commit terrorist activities during the Mandate. And it certainly proves that I didn't have enough evidence for my snarky remark, so I stand by my retraction (ha ha).

With another google, I take back what I said about the Haganah--wikipedia says that they did not engage in terrorism during the mandate. So nothing wrong with the name "Internet Haganah."

Does anyone else find it ironic that a site claiming to be a terrorist watchdog has named itself after an underground military organization?

That said, there's a way for both sides to be right. It could be that the people performing the DOS attacks are cyberterrorists--people who run web sites that aid terrorism--but that doesn't mean that the attacks themselves constituted terrorism. Catalano could well be concerned that cyberterrorists are targeting her for a denial-of-service attack.
