Rackspace Statement Regarding Indymedia
By Annalie Drusch
Director, Corporate Communications
Rackspace Managed Hosting

Friday 08 October 2004

In the present matter regarding Indymedia, Rackspace Managed Hosting, a U.S. based company with offices in London, is acting in compliance with a court order pursuant to a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT), which establishes procedures for countries to assist each other in investigations such as international terrorism, kidnapping and money laundering. Rackspace responded to a Commissioner's subpoena, duly issued under Title 28, United States Code, Section 1782 in an investigation that did not arise in the United States. Rackspace is acting as a good corporate citizen and is cooperating with international law enforcement authorities. The court prohibits Rackspace from commenting further on this matter.

Please note: the letter says such as international terrorism, kidnapping and money laundering, not that the investigation is into those offenses.

Such as may not mean it is, but knowing Indymedia, if it isn't it should be! Freepers in Fresno know how this group operates.

Those charges are specific - I would say they nailed them on two of the three, with kidnapping not being one of them.
We may have some Leftist perp walks coming soon.
