According to The New York Daily News, Anwar al-Awlaki is the Yemeni-American cleric who inspired the Fort Hood massacre and Christmas undies bomber.
But will that action called for by NY Rep. Weiner really help? YouTube's not the only video distribution service; the people who posted it can just as easily go to someplace like Dailymotion.com.
Moreover, taking down the videos just makes it harder to spot his sympathizers. In other words, having a place online where we can track his sympathizers's locations as they listen to him is valuable.
Taking Anwar al-Awlaki's videos down just seems rather narrow-minded.
For too long, before 9-11, people like Anwar al-Awlaki or Osama Bin Ladin were not known to much of the World. Even with that, they still recruited people. The best situation for America is to keep the videos up and active so reasonable people can hear the stupidly of his message.
