Some in the intelligence community believed that Al Qaeda was going to release a video on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, but the site on which it was supposed to be released was hacked by some code monkeys who have decided to fight the good fight.

Via the Hindustan Times:

Western intelligence suspects two hackers who have targeted Islamicist sites before were responsible: Aaron Weisburd from Internet Haganah and Rusty Shackleford from the web group My Pet Jawa.

The fact that one of the hackers used the pseudonym Rusty Shackleford makes me smile.
