I find it hard to believe that European kids care that much about the CIA or Arizona's immigration laws. Yet many of these alleged LulzSec arrests seem to be in Europe.
These are only excuses to show off their "skills". Everyone loathes script-kiddies, and they know the only way for them not to be considered script-kiddies (which they are in fact) is make everyone believe that their motivation is different than fame and feeling of power.
I think every wannabe-hacker wants to "hack" the CIA and Arizona's racist laws have been covered extensively on comedy programs like The Daily Show which I'd imagine are popular with anti-authoritarian internet-savvy youths worldwide.
Of course, if it were really about their problems with "racist" immigration laws, many countries in Europe have stronger and more strictly enforced immigration policies.
They will be. This latest round of arrests by the FBI were made based on the PayPal attacks, which were ages ago. LulzSec didn't even start going until months later, and the attacks that would have really pissed off the FBI happened just recently. The FBI is big and slow, but they'll get around to it if they have any evidence of members in the US.

because they find the vulnerability first with a scanner and then work backwards to find the cause they are fighting for
I'm personally a bit curious as to why it's only been European (only UK perhaps?) people.
I'd think the FBI would in on it too.
