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.
