This did not have to happen. They could have left the servers on-line and examined them in place................They crippled a lot of innocent companies websites for no good reason.............

Maybe the reason was to send more web hosting companies off shore.

I am not a lawyer, but it appears to me that the FBI may have violated federal laws by tampering with communication facilities not directly the target of authorized investigative activities.

I’m watching them in a chat room right now. They’ve hit the Petrobras site in Brazil.

I was wondering why there was a massive drop in scam mail.

To the heavy fisted thugs that govt is becoming, they're immune to any law that the rest of us mere mortals is liable to.

If Project Gunrunner and the ATF airport grope opportunities and the status of our illegal alien laws don't lead you to believe this, you're not watching closely enough.

The govt now chooses which laws it is subjected to and which the rest of us are.

Of such stuff are tyrannies made!

Godspeed and God help us

This is standard practice, has been for years. Still isn’t right.
