But it was fine, because we didn't know what fast was, and we were just going online to read things or check email or message other people. not look at photos or videos. No, Shannon's husband, Randy, was a computer guy, so they had computers in the house and were pretty connected, and she'd get on them sometimes and check it out. But 9-11 brought her to the computer much more.

But 9-11 brought her to the computer much more.

She had a lot of questions, and there were people online talking about it too. So she'd click around on forums and websites and chat rooms, just reading more, reading everything there was about the subject, learning about radical Islam, jihadists, and terrorism. Early mornings were her time. Randy and the kids were still asleep.

Early mornings were her time. Randy and the kids were still asleep.

She'd get up and head downstairs into the little room that they used for a computer room and power up the computer and wait the five minutes for it to boot up. She'd read all the news she could about the attacks on the Twin Towers. And she's got one of those brains where everything she reads just sinks in and stays there. So she's reading and absorbing everything.

Then, one month after the attack... Osama bin Laden recorded a video claiming responsibility for the attacks. He was the leader of a global terrorist group, Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda was a new word for most of us. We'd never heard of this before. And she was learning about their affiliation with Islam and their radical ideologies. Al-Qaeda had wanted the U.S.

military out of the Middle East, and they were willing to go to some pretty scary lengths to get their message heard. It appeared that the United States had a new enemy to deal with when they didn't expect or know how to handle. The United States was forcing their military into places all over the world, perhaps interfering in areas they shouldn't have.

So the people of the internet were expressing a variety of opinions on the whole event. Some people were sympathetic to Al-Qaeda. The internet was a hotbed of chat rooms and forums where people expressed their opinions. Online, everyone is anonymous, even in the early days of the Internet. In fact, this was a big calling for a lot of people who had extreme views and wanted to share them.

It made it easy to go online and be threatening without it coming back to your real life. Shannon heard the name of a website on a news report and said there was a chat room attached that people were using. She couldn't help herself from having a look. Is this where people who hate the United States were hanging out?

She got on the website and was looking around, reading the words of people from all over the world. Some expressed sympathy. Some had hatred behind their words. She was fascinated by it and spent hours just reading and taking it all in, trying to understand everything she didn't understand. A lot of it was in Arabic, too, and she had to translate it.

By late 2002, Shannon had found some friends online, other people from around the world who shared her views. Osama bin Laden was still on the loose, and it didn't seem like any justice was happening for those who died. She eventually gravitated towards people who were interested in the same thing as her.

They were all interested in what Al-Qaeda was doing and wanted to share interesting links with each other about it. They formed a group and called themselves the Seven Seas Global Intelligence Security Team to represent their seven members from seven different countries. The group would get together online and share interesting news articles or forum posts from within more underground forums.
