Tried to see where this story was going, but its becoming too big of a story on the blogs to just keep ignoring....
Here is the warrant: http://tc.indymedia.org/files/kelly-warrant-92210.pdf
Stephanie Weiner, a peace activist in Chicago, said about 20 FBI agents raided her house and took documents and photos, including one of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. Another activist was an organizer for the 2008 demonstrations at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul.
Steff Yorek, an antiwar spokeswoman, said the Anti-War Committee offices where she worked at 1313 5th St. SE. also were raided.
Tracy Molm said she woke up to:
"federal agents pounding on the door. I was told to be seated on my couch and I had no rights to walk around the apartment and I was under an investigation for my connections with groups in other countries, particularly Palestine."
Molm said she went to the Palestinian territories in 2004 with an international solidarity delegation. She said she saw houses demolished without notice and people jailed without evidence. "I don't believe I've done anything illegal."
