And Lieberman's response to YouTube's statement:

http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9947500-7.html
Leslie Phillips, a spokeswoman for the Senate committee that Lieberman
leads, told News.com on Monday afternoon that her boss found Google's
response to be unsatisfactory and was troubled that the company "does
not appear willing to change its guidelines to prevent foreign terrorist
organizations (as designated by the State Department) from posting
videos used to radicalize followers and incite them to violence." She
declined to comment on the status of any pending legislation.
