Here's a good idea from Irreconcilable Musings, in view of the denial-of-service attacks on the Blogosphere in recent days:

Over the weekend, a number of blogs were impacted by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on a website called Internet Haganah, which monitors, uncovers, and works to shut down Islamic terrorists' online presences. They must be doing something right to draw the attention of these cyber-fascists. ...

It is painfully clear that the Islamofascists will not stop in their quest to silence Internet Haganah, and that cannot happen - what they do is too valuable. The 9-11 terror attacks were plotted, in part, on the very sites that Internet Haganah tracks. Attacking the terrorists' online presence is as valuable a service as destroying their bases and freezing their accounts - it cripples their infrastructure so they cannot mount attacks on us. So I dug deep into my pockets and hit Internet Haganah's tip jar, hard. Why? Because I could - and in a small way, I feel I have done my part, without sacrificing the core values I hold dear, to defend those institutions which value life and liberty.

I haven't had the chance to do it yet -- I'll hit the tip jar when I'm home tonight -- but it's something we all should consider.
