FBI Trying to Shut Down Indymedia

[Christine Petersen]

Yeah - we have a confirm on that from the top of the news wire at
sf.indymedia.org I haven't heard from anyone I know in Seattle all day. I
don't know who was going to Blaine - which is out in the country by mt

still up though. sf.indymedia could have wrong information, possibly.
