there's also a couple other things in there that I find highly questionable. the worst is right at the end:
"We have forwarded it to the Justice Department's Office of International Affairs in Washington," Coggins said. "We are holding up hope that we're going to bring the Indonesians and the Russian to justice in the United States."
excuse me? shouldn't that read "convince the indonesians and russians to *start a local prosecution based on their own laws*" ???? oh, I forgot. the US-of-Assholes believes it's laws are valid for everyone and everywhere.
Unlike the Germans, who have never tried to get members of the American Nazi Party deported to Germany, who have never prosecuted Yahoo and AOL executives for violating German law by allowing thoughtcrime on their systems, and who have never arrested Americans transitting European cities for thoughtcrimes allegedly committed while inside the United States. --Tim May -- (This .sig file has not been significantly changed since 1992.
