Following in the grand tradition of United States senators commenting on technology topics they know nothing about (See Senator Ted Stevens), Senator Joe Lieberman recently penned a letter to Google CEO Larry Page. Seems Joe was pretty upset that Jose Pimentel – an alleged al-Quida sympathizer who planned to bomb military and police targets – had a blog on Google’s personal blogging site, Blogger.

According to Verge, Joe wrote that “As demonstrated by this recent case, Google’s webhosting site, Blogger is being used by violent Islamist extremists to broadcast terrorist content.” Joe continued that “Blogger’s Content Policy does not expressly ban terrorist content nor does it provide a ‘flag’ feature for such content.”

Huh? Content Policy? Blogger already has a ban on “hate or violence.” That’s not enough? Doesn’t terrorism fall under “hate or violence?”

But a flag? Serious? We don’t have enough Facebook “Like” and Google “+1″ flags? Joe thinks we need a “Terrorist” flag for blogs?

Hm, please don’t be offended, but I’ll get to work on my “Terrorist” flag just as soon as I finish my “Uninformed US Senator” flag …
