Critical Perspective on Developments in National Security, Intelligence, and Technology
A recent visitor to Blogs of War (and the path the visitor followed to get here) serves as yet another reminder of the threat from within:

Very interesting John. I use Google Analytics for this type of information. It can be instructive and educational. You can learn what pages and posts are being visited, how long the visitor stays, what network domain is being used, city, network location, search words that brought them there, etc.
I have found that IP addresses are not always meaningful, since they are sometimes dynamically allocated.
Having said that, it sure would be good somehow to hone in on this guy and watch him. One day he may be blowing up a subway in London. I would like to know a little more about exactly how you mined this information. I’ll send a note.
The IP address is of limited use on my end but law enforcement can work with the ISP to determine who “owned” it and when.
AWstats (http://awstats.sourceforge.net/) is my primary log analyzer but I found the entry above via Sitemeter which is the very basic counter found on most blogs:
