Revision as of 18:18, 18 March 2010

Template:Infobox weblog The Jawa Report (also, MyPetJawa) is a blog and forum for civilians concerned about terrorism by Islamists.[1] The Boston Globe describes it as a "popular" website "that monitors terrorism investigations".[2] The New York Times reports that its volunteers "research Web sites they believe are tied to Al-Qaeda or other militant groups, and pressure Internet service providers to stop hosting the sites.[3]

It was begun in 2004, following the killing of journalist Nick Berg, by a blogger who goes by the name of Dr. Rusty Shackleford.[4] Shackleford was an untenured professor when he began the blog.[4] He maintains his anonymity because he has received death threats.[5]

Roy Hallums

Contractor Roy Hallums, who was kidnapped in Iraq on November 1, 2004, held for 311 days, and freed on September 7, 2005, recounts that the Jawa Report was the first media entity to publicly release his name.[4]

Reuters photographs controversy

Manipulated photo of IAF F-16 deploying single flare over South Lebanon; flare was digitally duplicated to make it appear several missiles were being fired.
Main article: Adnan Hajj photographs controversy

In 2006, Shackleford discovered and revealed a doctored photo taken by a Reuters freelance photographer, Adnan Hajj during fighting between Israel and forces in Lebanaon.[6] Its caption falsely said: "An Israeli F-16 warplane fires missiles during an air strike on Nabatiyeh in southern Lebanon."[6][7]

The truth was that the F-16 was dropping defensive flares, and the photo had been doctored to increase the number of flares falling from the F-16 from one to three.[6] Reuters deleted all of the photographer's photos from its database.[6] Its global pictures editor said: "Manipulating photographs in this way is entirely unacceptable and contrary to all the principles consistently held by Reuters throughout its long and distinguished history."[6]

JihadJane plot

In the Colleen LaRose (JihadJane) plot, Jawa Report members who had been tracking her comments and movements, including her raising funds for Pakistani militants through Twitter, alerted U.S. authorities in July 2009.[8][1][9] The FBI interviewed her on July 17, 2009, and arrested here on October 16, 2009, at Philadelphia International Airport as she returned from London, whereupon she confessed her role in an Islamist plot to kill a Swedish artist to FBI agents, according to two people close to the investigation.[10]

As a source

It has been quoted and/or its findings reported in The New York Times, Fox, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Boston Globe, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Salon, The Weekly Standard, The New York Sun, The Free Lance–Star, the Lodi News-Sentinel, the Columbia Journalism Review, ABC, and CBS.[11][12][2][13][6][14][15][16][17][7][18][19][20][21][1]
