Ah, but do you live in the US? If you live outside of the us, there's little the FBI can do about it. SOrt of a diplomatic immunity. They're not trying to control Europe's mindset; just the us's. The other thing is, unless someone reports someone through free programs available through the internet, these forums are somewhat safer than more (no offense) popular services like Myspace (owned by Rupert murdoch, owner of fox news) and email (wire tapping). We are fortunate that there aren't many people like that here. all we need is one person who thinks he's going to stop "enemies of the US" (progressive minded or just critical of gov. people), and the FBI will be either knocking on your door, or tapping your mail and phone lines even more closely.
