Yes. I'm aware of that. It would be futile in most cases, which is a huge problem in and of itself, as that's really 
the only recourse. 

I mean they were using a shared hosting plan. Not exactly deep pocketed. 

My point is that the abuse of power is blatant and they are unafraid of any kind of retaliation. They don't need to 
hide.

Uhm...yes?  That's why we have courts that we can sue federal agencies
in.

No proxy needed. No need to hide.

While working for a very large hosting company, I once observed DHS
hammering an occupy related website. No attempt to hide the source ip
or anything.

What are you going to do? Sue them? If they wish to take a site
offline, they will ddos it or simply seize the domain under the
national security banner.

Maybe the FBI use this to commit crimes in USA using a foreign
company
as proxy so nothing dirty show on the books. That way the FBI can
avoid respecting USA laws.
