In the past few days, the FBI raided the homes of anti-war activists in the midwest US and the executive director of Arab American Advocacy Network.

Ted Dooley, Kelly's attorney, called the raids "a probe into the political beliefs of American citizens and any organization anywhere that opposes the American imperial design."
