FBI and potential censorship attempts of Indymedia

There is a report of FBI Officers currently located within the Seattle IMC demanding the location of the person who's name is the registered name of indymedia.org. Apparently, they have an arrest warrant for Jonathan Jay because of a supposed threat against President Bush on the Montreal IMC site. They are making threats that the IMC is not supposed to send out *any* emails regarding this issue, according to the warrant. However, this, according to the IMC lawyer, is Prior Restraint, which is unconstitutional. The closest story mentioning Bush on the Montreal site is the following: story mentioning bush Please look to seattle.indymedia.org as well as other sites for updates on this situation.
