Why in the world can't they track down terrorists on the web? Some loser downloads kiddy pr0n or releases a virus on the web and they'll track that person 1/2 way around the world and pin it down to one computer at some apartment building.
Plain and simple answer? The terrorists who do these things are smarter (street smarter, that is) than the small percentage of virus writers or child pornography downloaders we actually catch. Just like we catch a few virus writers, we catch a few terrorists, but the ones we don't catch are simply doing things in a way that doesn't allow us to catch them.
So basically, we catch the dumb virus writers, just like we catch the dumb terrorists. It's just that the dumb terrorists aren't likely to be in charge of something as important (to them) as getting their message out via the WWW.
