[free-sklyarov] Big Brother is watching you

[roylo]

First of all, I'm sorry if I have offended you in anyway. And I want you to
know that was not my intension
Second, I'm Chinese myself (1st generation immigrant)

Being raised in US, I have always believed in freedom. In the past years
many crackers/hackers has been arrested in this country (US); Which was fine
with me. ('cause they are American and breaking US law in US)

But, Dmitry's case is different. And it really makes me think about the
value that I grow up with in this country (The Land of Freedom??)  I believe
in freedom and I think it was wrong for FBI to arrest Dmitry and to hold him
in jail.

I'm sorry if I have offended anyone with my "bad" examples, but I hope I got
my message through.

thanks
