Apparent European view: Terrorists learn bombmaking from Wikipedia

I love the "liberal" view that if you keep the law-abiding citizenry from getting to something, it'll somehow magically keep the criminals or terrorists from doing the same. In just the same way that the Liberal Elite feels that denying law-abiding, responsible citizens the abilities to keep weapons for self-defense would mystically cause all criminals to give theirs up, their European allies-in-spirit think that preventing web searches for bomb recipes would keep terrorists from leaning how to make them. Right, because the terrorist training camps rely on Wikipedia or Google to determine exactly how to build bombs.

BRUSSELS - Internet searches for bomb-making instructions should be blocked across the European Union, the bloc's top security official said on Monday.

Internet providers should also prevent access to any site giving instructions on how to make a bomb, EU Justice and Security Commissioner Franco Frattini said in an interview.

"I do intend to carry out a clear exploring exercise with the private sector...on how it is possible to use technology to prevent people from using or searching dangerous words like bomb, kill, genocide or terrorism," Frattini told Reuters.

The EU executive is to make this proposal to member states early in November as part of a raft of anti-terrorism proposals.
