US citizens should provide the most pressure, but thinking that nations which the USA trades with and is partners with have no influence is plain wrong. To state only citizens of USA can help means that you truly believe the USA is an island untouched by the world around it. You can't fight this from jail, but you don't have to be a USA citizen to bring to light the shear stupidity of some US law. Sometimes a foreign country has more influence in shouting about the wrong doings than do US citizens...the political point of information input is different, all angles are required. You don't have to be responsible for a problem in order to be able to help solve it. D. Stimits, stimits@idcomm.com > > Why are you asking Alan to risk prison _and_ pressure > US politicians?
