Looking at the Siberian husky site... stdLauncher.js is part of Verint ForeSee, one of those "would you like to take a survey about our website" solutions. The AAM analytics code right above the survey and urchin code lists as domain an IP associated with Sungard AS, an outfit that holds a number of federal contracts for IT services. This IP, 209.235.0.153, hosted the FBI website at some point in time. It's oddly easy to figure this out, even without something like a DomainTools subscription, because there are a lot of people scraping and archiving the FBI most wanted pages due to their cultural significance. Some searching on code samples shows that the AAM section of analytics code is an exact match for analytics code served up by an older version of the FBI's most wanted website. Likely that it was also used on older versions of other FBI websites as well. In the end I find it unlikely that this website has anything to do with the FBI, and more likely that the website owner copy-pastad a large section of source code and accidentally ended up with this result. One bit of commonality I've noticed is that a lot of websites with the FBI tracking code were all built with FrontPage. I'm not sure if this is causal or coincidental, but perhaps it contributes to this that FrontPage allows you to open a webpage that you saved from IE and edit it... which might lead to some websites being complete duplicates of FBI websites, except for visible content, simply because websites like the FBI most wanted were relatively prominent parts of the early internet. Edit: I spent a little time riding the WayBackMachine to some of the other webpages when they were apparently using FBI analytics code. The results are odd but they're so inconsistent that it's hard to think it was at all intentional. One interesting finding is that both ohthx.com and ppc-guy.com, at the time they supposedly had the FBI analytics ID, were apparently hosting an analytics package called Prosper202 that redirected the WayBackMachine crawler from the login page to fbi.gov. I have a suspicion that this was a partially-joking way to deter crawling of the admin interface of the software. The record that they used the FBI analytics code is presumably just an artifact of the crawler following the redirect. It seems that this exact Prosper202 behavior results in the majority of the old hits.
