    I read the article and even googled a bit but I can't come up with even a guess concerning why the FBI made off with their hard drives. A translation of the blurb on their site indicates that they have a server in reserve that they are trying to bring up but they have lost, obviously, all of their content.

    If this was not a free nation then the KGB would be at your door right now hauling you off to jail (no judge required) remember there was a judge invovled in this. Also if this wasn't a free country this website would be deemed "against party line" and banned, see China. The beautiful part about this country is that there is recourse if you're rights are violated. BTW don't say warped political leanings if you're gonna uplift welfare its had 30 years and hasn't worked yet. Lets try something else instead of trying to keepa broken system.

    The best theories are so far that they either (a) posted photos of undercover swiss police officers or (b) posted publicly available info concerning members of the RNC.

    If (a), what on earth does this have to do with terrorism or indeed the FBI. If (b), this is public info, they just collated it. Again, what does this have to do with the FBI, or indeed terrorists.


    Damn dude, you should be a private investigator or something.
