FBI Demands Logs From Radical Website

sunbird writes "The details are as yet unclear due to a gag order, but apparently the FBI is once again demanding IP logs from dissident webservers. The sysadmin for flag.blackened.net, best known for hosting infoshop.org and the Anarchist FAQ has responded to an FBI request for server logs. Although he cannot reveal the details of the request due to the gag order, the sysadmin has issued an informal press release discussing his reasons for turning over the information. Slashdot articles on similar topics: (1) (2) (3)"

None of them turned up among anti-American Muslim extremists in Pakistan or Afghanistan wielding weapons against US forces, or in Taliban training camps, or plotted to detonate a radiological dirty bomb in downtown Chicago.

Though I pretend to be an anarchist and revolutionary, I am really a scared sheep like the rest of you and thought this was just a game. Whaaaaa.

What anarchist is NOT pretending to be an anarchist and revolutionary?

Would those be the US forces who were invading their country? I guess that would mean the "extremists" are prisoners of war. If only we had some kind of international agreement about the treatment of POWs...
