The suburban Pennsylvania woman, known as Jihad Jane, had been plotting a string of terrorism attacks in the U.S. for the past few years. Yet, bloggers, not the C.I.A., had been closely-monitoring her every move for the past three years.

Without a vigilant investigation undertaken by bloggers, Jihad Jane could have helped to lead a network of suicide bombers walk into America by illegally crossing the U.S. borders with Canada and Mexico. But she may have done so already.

ABC News reports that, "while the rest of America was stunned to hear that a suburban Pennsylvania woman allegedly used the Internet identity of Jihad Jane and tried to join militant jihadists, for a group of 'Net Vigilantes,' it was old news.

As a matter of fact, at least one of the blogging investigators claims to have alerted the federal government to Colleen laRose's alleged attempts to raise cash and recruit suicide bombers for Islamic terrorist groups and to mobilize her own jihad.

Blogs like the Jawa Report, Quoth the Raven, and the YouTube Smackdown Corps insist they had been monitoring Jihad Jane's increasing militancy for three years, and observed as the World-Wide-Web, especially YouTube - made her a jihad superstar.

According to ABC, "they also said Jihad Jane is not the only one on the internet that the groups are monitoring."

A man calling himself Rusty Shackleford told ABC News that, "there are certainly many others out there who are more eloquent and appear to be more dangerous from the way they talk."
