When do we find out why the FBI raided those houses?

[Enrique]

at some point they're going to have to justify that action, right? As far as I know, they haven't done it yet.

In the meantime, we have to use our imaginations. What gave the FBI the right to go into those houses and take away all that stuff?

1. LOL

Justify? To whom and why?

It's pretty well settled that these people are accountable to no one.

Wouldn't it be great if we elected a Democratic majority so we could roll back this police state!

2. Frankly, the way I read it, anyone against war is a suspected terrorist. Reminds me of

the 60's, if you wanted peace and were against the MIC, you were deemed a dirty hippie and un-American.

Anyone wanting peace is in the way of the MIC profit machine for the oligarchy.

4. They were heretics, all right?

They were not true believers in the High Church of Redemptive Violence, and a message needed to be sent to ensure orthodoxy in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. Or do you hate America too, comrade?

5. The guy in Chicago said they photographed all the walls of his family home,

went through the family's music collection, the kids' artwork, his son's poetry journals from high school.

8. oh, were they the people Robert Gibbs was talking about?

11. We know why they did it. There are still lots of Bushistas embedded in the government,

as shown (for example) by remaining Bushista US attorneys. And the election is fast coming up. We saw for eight years what Bushistas do before elections: they shout Terra! Terra! Terra! and arrest "suspects" in the hopes of making voters nervous

12. I would assume it was a warrant...

Unless the case is sealed the warrant should be available via FOIA
