with that and the EFF's letter, mueller is now officially in the line
of fire. that kind of moods the discussion of whether we should go easy
on him for one reason or the other, doesn't it?

I will send a letter to someone appropriate in germany and ask them to
oppose his nomination because he is arresting foreign nationals on
made-up, dubious charges and if he becomes the next FBI director, I'd
be afraid to travel to the states.
