Good points all, but at least the "aiding the enemy" charge didn't stick, perhaps for the obvious reason you cite. Now if the judge weren't too dense to understand "wget and IE are both web clients, with only superficial differences", the whole affair wouldn't have been quite such a travesty. Although IMHO locking someone up in solitary, incommunicado, without trial, for years (much of that time without clothing) is so damaging that a defendant must be assumed to have been left in no condition to vigorously defend himself, and all verdicts should have been "not guilty" for that alone.

O/T: when I typed "aiding the enemy" into G, the word it suggested next was "pokemon". LOL.
