Web Crime-Fighting
The issue that this article brings up is a difficult one to choose sides on. On the one hand, citizens should cooperate with authorities when they know of actions that pose a threat to our country. On the other hand, if everyone was doing what A. Aaron Weisburd is, it would undoubtedly hinder the governments' investigation efforts against terrorism.
Another problem is the fact that no one can really monitor these "internet crime-fighters" and their methods. "The activists often operate at the boundaries of what is legal and illegal." Although Weisburd claims that he does not do anything illegal, he states that "he cannot always control the actions of those who help him."

He is not fighting crime, he is fighting terrorism. Explain what he is up to with a brief quote or a couple of key facts. Your analysis is interesting but you have to briefly describe what you are discussing here.
