[Clips] Finger points to British intelligence as al-Qaeda websites are wiped out

[Tyler Durden]

What?!! 300MB/s for a Tor node? OK, I'm a telecom guy and not a data guy but 
that sounds suspiciously like someone loaded up an OC-3's worth of traffic 
and then slammed your node. Ain't no hacker gonna do that. Any indication 
the ostensible originating IP addresses are faked?
