    So if the weapons weren't there, why are they missing? So basically NBC is saying we think something was here, BUSH'S FAULT! BUSH'S FAULT! Without doing deeper into the facts. This is just another CBS style story.

    *sigh*.. You're misjudged my friend. But I'll take a few of those, what you call facts. 1. Bush sent soliders without body armor. You'll have to look at the Clinton administration because it was his administration that cut funding for the military and did away with *projects* like that. So Pffft... Let's do another one.... #4 Being greeted as Liberators. As far as I can see, we are. #6, the banner. The sign was done by the crew of the ship, NOT the administration. And notice what he said, MAJOR combat action, not that EVERYTHING was over, but the BIG stuff had been taken care of already.

    Just let it go Mr. Liberal. You're losing!

    Yes I have read the original post which was on Cryptome first early last week. Second, I don't know anything about the threats, but names WHERE published. It just so happens those two guys were undercover police sent there to gather intel on political radicals. They are morons for posing for the picture but anyway. And the email was what Cryptome received from Rackspace.

    This is the real reason behind the IndyMedia servers being taken:

    In the present matter regarding Indymedia, Rackspace Managed Hosting, a U.S. based company with offices in London, is acting in compliance with a court order pursuant to a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT), which establishes procedures for countries to assist each other in investigations such as international terrorism, kidnapping and money laundering. Rackspace responded to a Commissioner's subpoena, duly issued under Title 28, United States Code, Section 1782 in an investigation that did not arise in the United States. Rackspace is acting as a good corporate citizen and is cooperating with international law enforcement authorities. The court prohibits Rackspace from commenting further on this matter.

    What's an MLAT?

    Criminal Cases Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Treaties: Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Treaties (MLATs) are relatively recent development.

The treaties include the power to summon witnesses, to compel the production of documents and other real evidence, to issue search warrants, and to serve process. Generally, the remedies offered by the treaties are only available to the prosecutors. The defense must usually proceed with the methods of obtaining evidence in criminal matters under the laws of the host country which usually involve letters rogatory.

The United States has nineteen Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLAT) currently in force: Argentina, Bahamas, Canada, Hungary, Italy, Jamaica, Korea, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, Panama, Philippines, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom (Cayman Islands), United Kingdom, Uruguay.
