Indymedia Servers Given Back

NW writes "According to a post on Indymedia Argentina the two Indymedia servers seized earlier by the FBI are in the process of being returned: "A Rackspace employee stated, "I was just told that the court order is being complied with and your servers in London will be online at 5pm GMT. I will pass along anymore information that becomes available and that I am allowed to." It has been verified that the returned hard-drives are the originals, but the circumstances of the seizure still remain unclear: who took them, why were they taken, and under which court order? Indymedia is not aware as to whether Rackspace is still under gag order. The hard-drives will be treated as "hacked" (compromised) and as a result there will be delays in restoring the sites that are still down."" Here's our previous coverage on this.

I dunno. He doesn't look disturbed to me.

Then why are intelligence agencies taking pictures of me? "Don't take my picture, but please submit to me when I take yours." That's fair.

Obey, citizen, obey. We're only here to help.

Besides, we had no proof that they were undercover agents until the governments blabbed about it.

Gov't: "Take down the pictures of undercover agents."
"Criminals": "What, they're undercover agents? We didn't know that but now we do. Boys, dispatch the gunmen!"

Good work guys. (Frankly I hope all the undercover agents get shot at now, they don't personally deserve it but that's just the risk of doing the job. What goes around comes around.)

Remember that the world does NOT subscribe to the American idea of freedom and democracy. There are rights we have in the US that you do not in other free countries, and rights they have that we do not.

Nice troll!
