    @ GlennGreenwald

    "So someone on the Internet claims anonymously to have been raped and now you believe it? Fine - if that claim is true - then he should be prosecuted for rape and, if convicted, imprisoned for a long time. But that's not the crime he's been accused of committing."

    Hey- I marked that source as unverified. Usually though, smoke=fire. Not always, but it warrants digging deeper. You have the law background and press access. I know it's not as glamorous or popular as the Guantanamo case, but are the constitutional rights of young women in this country not important also? Here's a quote from the guy you are defending: Max sees no need to murder his victims during his pseudo-snuff films because as he likes to say, "By the time I'm done with them, they're already dead inside."

    Thanks for listening, Hyblaean.
