General Information on Nuvigil and Provigil I think many of us have already experienced conditions of periodic sleepiness during the day……

Jimbino: The per­son who places the ad is in Pak­istan or Afghanistan, places to which the over­stretched arm of Amerikan law does not yet reach. But it seems there is noth­ing to stop them from found­ing and fund­ing Al-Craigslist and to con­tinue to pur­sue aims both legal and ille­gal in the posts, like spec­i­fy­ing that you don’t want a room­mate who is a breeder.

If the people placing these ads are in Pakistan or Afghanistan, chances are they are placing the ads on servers located in places also outside the arm of “Amerikan law.” Indeed, they would be stupid for doing otherwise. If the server is located within the U.S., the alphabet soup of federal agencies would have the IP address of the ad-placer before breakfast the next morning.

The person who places the ad is in Pakistan or Afghanistan, places to which the overstretched arm of Amerikan law does not yet reach.

Jimbino: What is it that would keep Al Qaeda from post­ing on Craigslist an invi­ta­tion to help assas­si­nate Obama, or to help har­vest pop­pies for the Cause?

Presumably, lack of desire to be found and arrested. This prevents Craigslist from being prosecuted, but has no effect on the person who places the ad.

NickM: Jim­bino — would al-Craigslist have an erotic ser­vices sec­tion with pictures?Nick

Only if they are of burqas.

I assume that Craigslist could, under the prevailing law, choose to delete those solicitations.

Then what keeps Al Qaeda from starting an Al-Craigslist and refrain from editing anything that appears?

d-berg: How is this different from escort services in yellow book? Thinly veiled, yet legal.

I would make the argument that with 320 behind the online publisher even the veiling isn’t needed for cl to be in the clear. The county is of course free to go after the people making illegal offers. And I would expect the courts to require cl to provide whatever pertinent records exist. None of that speaks to cl itself being liable.
