Right! They have elected the right people! WoW!
This sux!
Australian man handed over to the US of A. I find this totally shocking.
* The software was American. => Agreed.
* The crime was committed in Australia => Agreed.
* The criminal (who is now pleading guilty ) is an Australian. => Agreed.
So, the Australian is handed over to the US for serving a sentence even though he has never been to the US.
That is like my parents handing me over to my neighbours to be flogged just because I disrespected their sentiments(as in: akin to software), it resulting in monetary loss, in the privacy of my house and they somehow came to know of it!
The incident in itself is not as horrible, what is even more horrible is that the article mentions that ‘this sets the example’ to follow for the next crime.
The least I expect is that a criminal will be tried in his home country against a complaint from a ‘representing agency’ from any country, unless the crime was committed in the said another country.
Okie. Said and done. Lets look at the flipside.
Assume it is an American who violated the Australian laws. I am not a lawyer nor have taken keen interest in the Australian laws. Let the US deport *at least one* American to any of the countries. :-)
That is as possible as George Bush standing for a trial at the war crimes tribunal for a hearing! Go figure.
I personally think this incident is more important than some ‘popular HEX digits’. Please digg it
here.
Back to work.
