Funny, Not, how we don't get these raids, DeJa-Vu from back in our times as to Non Violent Activism for Peaceful Policies, on what is blatantly stated on our media and in the general population by many, especially the last couple of years, pointing directly at instigating deadly and destructive violence which some have actually carried out, pointed at those doing and continuing to do!

Joe Iosbaker and his wife, Stephanie Weiner, said the government targeted them because they've been outspoken against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and U.S. funding of conflicts abroad. They denied any wrongdoing.

Iosbaker and Weiner declined to discuss their relationship with any groups abroad, citing their upcoming testimony before a grand jury on Oct. 5.
