    Since this guy was indicted Friday, should Worldcom pull the plug on
    his website or would that be a violation of his rights. Since he is
    not being indicted on a computer crime, he may be given access to the
    Internet and be able to administer his website from a prison cell
    which would allow him to remain an activist and sympathizer to
    Al-Qaeda. But that in and of itself is not a crime.
    
    What say you?
