The prosecution was moved to Florida because the authorities were unable to get a conviction in California.
Yes, and you find that alright? Glenn did mention that the trial was taken to Florida with flimsy arguments about probable customers and the locale of hardware used just because what Mr Little did was not illegal under the laws of the state in which he lives and works.
The whole point of Mr Greenwald's blog entry is exactly that: double standards and hypocrisy prevail over fair and sensible conduct.
The curious complement to the comparison is that whatever Congress and White House do to get away after January 2009 the next administration can just choose any place of trial they find fit - including London, Paris, Berlin, The Hague or Baghdad.
