Quaeda Sites DDoS

In a nut shell, what I'm proposing is as follows. A software application is written that will access a list of known qaeda sympathetic websites...Repeatedly. This software application is made available on the web for people to use their spare CPU cycles and bandwidth, just like the many other distributed computing programs out there such as SETI@home. I believe that there are a lot of people, who would be very excited about this idea and would quickly download such an application onto their computers as a way to help fight against extremists. It's your basic DDoS attack, but instead of duping people into downloading a program to attack Walmart, you are asking them to download a program to help attack extremists.

There would need to be a way to update the website list on each of these client computers, to add new sites, and delete others. This would need to be heavily encrypted, as you have quite a weapon here, and anybody that could put a website on "The List" would be harnessing a lot of power. An additional safeguard, perhaps, would be to only give each person running the software perhaps 5 or 10 websites that they would be attacking. You display to the user, this list of sites. That allows the user to know if the list as been hacked and he is now attacking "Bill's Bait and Sushi Emporium".

There would need to be active searching for new qaeda sites to add to the list, and monitor sites that drop off, so bandwidth isn't wasted attacking dead sites. I don't know how to do this, without making somebody "in charge", which will present legal liability to that person.

I think this is something the governments of the world should be doing, but they are hampered by their fear that such an attack, conducted by them, would be perceived as curtailing free speech, etc. Fine. This is something that the people of the world can do for themselves. We don't need a government to do this. An application that was available for download, that would allow any average citizen of the world to do something to make the average extremist of the world's day a little less happy, would be widely downloaded, and would unleash a huge amount of computing power where it will have an effect.
