FBI Investigates Anti-Jena 6 Web Site

The FBI is investigating a white supremacist Web site over an anti-Jena 6 posting that revealed the phone numbers and addresses of five of the six teens accused of beating a white student in Jena, Louisiana.

The case of the Jena 6 has become a popular cause -- even across international borders -- and is attracting the support of everyone from Al Sharpton to David Bowie, who donated $10,000 to the legal defense fund.

The story is long, complex and much deeper than the simple tale of racial injustice that is often retold by headline news outlets. The Associated Press has published a thorough overview of the events, reproduced here in the New York Times.

The site in question has been on- and off-line intermittently for the last several days. We have chosen not to link to the site since we see no reason to help promote any outlet that endorses hate speech or violence against a person.
