What does the FBI want with Indy Media?

Seems the Indy Media servers at Rackspace in the UK were seized by the FBI. Rackspace won't say anything, so all we can do is guess that this is the first step in the war on dissent. After I post this I'll await the proverbial knock on the door.

It seems that was all the excuse they needed. There is a report that they had requested that the photos be taken down from the website, but that has not been confirmed.
