7-Seas Global Intelligence

7-Seas Global Intelligence was a short lived firm set up to pool the activities of a number of online 'terrorist hunters' by Montana judge Shannen Rossmiller.

According to the Seattle Time:

The 7Seas Web site — www.7-seas.net — claims the group can provide "round-the-clock" threat analysis and "real time terrorist information, intelligence and strategic analysis to law enforcement and military agencies both within the United States and internationally."

The Seattle Times also reported that:

There are seven members of 7Seas: four in the U.S. and one each in Canada, Australia and Singapore. Rossmiller declined to identify the others, aside from Astley. But she says they are corporate and personal security experts, a former detective who speaks seven languages (although not Arabic), a "global media" specialist, a real-estate agent and an architect.

For a brief period in 2002, 7Seas was incorporated and its members hoped to land a government contract. But a falling-out with a founding member delayed those plans, and Rossmiller let the corporation die before it ever made a dime. She says, however, that its members hope one day to make a profit as security and intelligence consultants — even though the job has risks.

Aside from Rossmiller in Montana, the other US based operatives were reported to be based in Tennessee, Texas and Missouri.
