Many in the abortion-rights movement, of course, believe Horsley and his allies are the real criminals. Vicki Saporta, executive director of the National Abortion Federation, who is listed on the Nuremberg site, notes there have been seven murders and 17 attempted murders of abortion providers in the past decade. She believes that the site and the "wanted" posters "provide the information necessary for extremists to target abortion providers for violence."

The criticism of Horsley's site as a hit list escalated after he began crossing out the names of murdered doctors and clinic staff -- most infamously Dr. Barnett Slepian -- shortly after their demise. (The accused assassin of Slepian, James Kopp, is awaiting the outcome of extradition proceedings in a jail cell in France.) Among others, Shannon Lowney and Leanne Nichols -- clinic receptionists murdered by John Salvi in Brookline, Mass., in 1994 -- are listed and crossed out. Horsley has lately taken to additionally posting the struck-through names of women who have allegedly died from botched legal abortions, to blunt the charge that he's tallying only the deaths of abortion providers.

Meanwhile, Horsley has posted a teaser version of his new "news" coverage. For now, it's just a still-photo montage of his view of the abortion wars: shots of doctors and clinic workers, gory fetus pictures and photos of antiabortion activists from Catholic Bishop Daly of Brooklyn, N.Y., to fugitive white supremacist Eric Rudolph, who remains on the FBI's Most Wanted list, following his indictment for the pipe bombing of the Atlanta Olympics and the bombing of a gay bar in Atlanta and of clinics in Sandy Spring, Ga., and Birmingham, Ala.

Most of the photos, like the videos he promises to webcast, were taken by antiabortion clinic protesters -- or "sidewalk counselors," as they often call themselves. One photo features Patricia Baird-Windle, shown in a 1994 photo arriving at the Melbourne, Fla., clinic she owned for 22 years. She is the coauthor of the just-published "Targets of Hatred: Antiabortion Terrorism," which tells the story of the abortion wars from the viewpoint of beleaguered abortion providers. "I think this is the wave of the antiabortion future," Baird-Windle, also a Nuremberg Files listee, told Salon. "And it wouldn't be tolerated if it were any other medical or social institution. The abortion exception," she believes, "has allowed the antis to engage in a form of mob rule."

Broadcasting via clinic cams has been one of Horsley's goals for a long time. While some clinic security experts suggest that he may not have the money and level of organization to do it yet, many abortion-rights advocates see even his preliminary version as an escalation. Some are so accustomed to the climate of harassment, violence and threats of violence that the prospect of clinic cams neither shocks nor surprises. Others are alarmed to find their pictures posted on the Internet as the implied threat becomes more personal.

Defenders of the site maintain that it is not intended to be a hit list, but Horsley is clearly very conscious of the intimidating effects of strategic assassinations. Pointing to Slepian's crossed-out name on his computer screen in one sequence in the recent HBO documentary "Soldiers in the Army of God," Horsley recalled his reaction to the murder of Dr. Slepian: "When I drew a line through his name, I said 'See, I told ya. There's another one. How many more is it gonna take?'"

"The evidence is at hand," Horsley declares. "There are people out there who [will] go out and blow their brains out."
