US seizes independent media sites

The BBC is carrying the story now. The amazing part about this whole thing is that it has taken so long for a major news agency to pick up this story (apologies to the SMH which picked it up on the 7th). And now, of course, since it was servers that were seized they are reporting it under the Technology section. No major dumberican services are following the story. Declan's Politech was the first place I heard about it, and it is registering on politics.technorati.com too.
