Hosting Provider Shut Down By FBI

Posted by timothy on from the lesson-for-the-pr-department dept.

An Anonymous Reader writes: "An 80-strong U.S. FBI agents raided the Texas-based host of Arabic Web sites, including that of the Arab world's leading independent news channel, prompting charges on Thursday of an 'anti-Muslim witchhunt.'" The Reuters story is at Yahoo! as well. Did you know there was a North Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force, or that it would be shutting down ISPs?

    The first link, to iViews, is "refusing" my (normal HTTP) connection... Wonder if maybe they were nabbed, too?

  2. They were *NOT* shut down. by torpor · · Score: 3, Troll

    Their operations were simply interrupted while the Fed's conducted their search. The sites came back online, fair and square.

    The search was perfectly legal, and executed per the law.

    For crying out loud, glib sensationalism is the last thing slashdot needs more of ...

    Shame!

    half the articles posted nowadays are redundant, trollish, and inflammatory. today is another great example.

    maybe the editors have been pressured by va linux folks to get more pageviews, seeing how their stock is thisclose to being de-listed.

    it's really sad though, this place used to be a great place for discussion. you can't be complaining about crapflooders without first pointing to the editors first.

  7. sealed warrant? wtf? by bat'ka+makhno · · Score: 4, Troll
    What bothers me the most is the continuous stream of legal obfuscation perpetrated by government agencies. How many times in the past couple of years have we heard of defense lawyers denied critical information allegedly out of "greater state interest." Some guys who were allegedly linked to the World Trade Center bombing were kept in jail, without being charged, for several years, until even the DA or whoever decides those things decided not to prosecute the case, since the government just didn't have one.

    What kind of shit is this? If you're going to be violating people's property and impeding commerce, you'd better have a damn valid reason that will stand up to public scrutiny. Otherwise, we might as well get rid of trial by jury, the pesky fifth amendment or the obligation to prove one's guilt before issuing a sentence. Yeah, that's the ticket, just like in those documentaries about the Third Reich that must be the talk of the town in Quantico nowadays.

    This makes me sick.
