expired domain names
Chris C asked:

On September 11th, 2001 I took part in a strange coincidence: The Binladin family owned a website which (coincidentally?) expired on the same day which their son attacked the United States. What I did is write a computer program which captured the domain name the instant when it expired (late Sept). Once I had the domain name, I placed my own web server and an email server against this domain name and former Binladin website. I have captured gigabytes worth of emails which have led to a variety of news articles and TV interviews, etc – but, it has always been a curiosity and unknown part of the 9-11 story for most people. The website is: http://www.saudi-binladin-group.com/. There are a variety of news articles at various sources, such as: WIRED: http://www.wired.com/politics/law/news/2001/11/48254 .

What would you do with this? I have tried to turn this into a message of peace and cooperation among all people.

Serious question and respectful answers only please …
