Political Essayist Voxfux - A Massive Manhunt

BREAKING NEWS: This was posted on the IndyMedia forum; "Voxfux has been making appearances throughout the day in the East Village talking a lot to a lot of people. He's pissed. But he is definately NOT in their custody. I saw one of his assistants who confirmed the Amy Goodman interview. She told me that Voxfux has requested that the interview NOT be aired at this time. He told me to tell everyone to not have fear. He feels like a lion and never had more resolve in his life."

Good news :-)

There were simultaneous raids at several locations throughout New York City and Brooklyn.

Voxfux is represented by Norman Seigal (From NYCLU). The civil rights lawyer Ron Cuby is also involved in the discussions.

Later in the day Vox was interviewed at an undisclosed location with Amy Goodman from the radio program Democracy Now.

There has been no formal charges presented so far. Neighbors were issued orders to contact the Authorities upon seeing or hearing from the man believed to be behind the caustic pen.

A neighbor, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of violating any orders of the combined law enforcement effort, spoke praises of her neighbor, "There's no way he's a terrorist, he's a sweetheart, I don't believe it for one minute. I've known him for seventeen years. He's an artist and a writer. This is rediculous."

The case has the potential to be a lightening rod for civil libertarians, coming just days after the passage of the controversial Homeland Security Act. The articles Believed to be penned by the mystery writer can be found at www.voxnyc.com.
